“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
This morning as I renew my experience of God’s love on the Cross, I remember that Jesus the Christ was/is perfectly human as well as divine and how we entrust our fidelity to the One whose cross we share. It stands out and I am unable and unwilling to shake it off. It is in those moments of feeling abandoned that Jesus identifies with the poorest of the poor, with each of us.
The fact that the Father raises him up does not lessen any others, rather all of us past, present and to-come are raised up with him. All with the “hope that the life of Jesus may be seen in our body.”
Just as Eugene shared his experience of Good Friday, we each dare to look within ourselves to rediscover and renew our own experiences of God in a deeper way so as to share the cross which has been shared with each of us.
I think today of those leaders in governments who would rule us by robbing us of our humanity and goodness and who do not know God in the manner that we do. Rather than railing out at them and the rest of the world, let this be the day to die unto ourselves and raise them up in our prayers. It is in this way that another criminal that was crucified along with Jesus recognized who Jesus was and joined him in heaven.
