"We say also that the Word, who is the first-birth of God...Jesus Christ, our Teacher, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into heaven"

We Will Remember...

As we come closer to the Paschal Triduum, we must remember who it is that we live for. We live for Him that died for us. Christ came down from Heaven to suffer and die for us. Such love is not meditated upon today. We Christians know that we are a free people, but we have forgotten that our freedom was paid at a large price. 


"When he was insulted, he returned no insult; when he suffered, he did not threaten; instead, he handed himself over to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:23-24)

The world has never seen such love before or since. As Christians, let us alway remember that Jesus, whom we sometimes take for granted, has died, out of love for us. The only thing he wants in return is love. That we may truly love Him, and all of our brothers and sisters in this world and the next.

May we remember this Good Friday who it was that died: the love of God...Jesus Christ.
