GOOD FRIDAY: 3rd April, 2015
At no one's death we will rejoice; but Christ's death gives us a reason to rejoice forever and limitlessly because it brings to the fore the abundance of love that God has for us.
For God so loved the world that God gave God's only Son... a love that lays no conditions, has no expectations, never gets discouraged, never loses hope and never closes the wide open arms.
God's love calls me, chooses me and challenges me... to love as he loved (Jn 13:34)! We hear the words of love from the cross.
A love that forgives (Lk 23:34)
A love that embraces everyone despite unworthiness (Lk 23:43)
A love that cares for the beloved (Jn 19:26)
A love that endures extreme anguish for our sake (Mk 15:34)
A love that thirsts for my love (Jn 19:28)
A love that accomplishes every bit of what God wills (Jn 19:30)
A love that invites us to surrender ourselves into the Father's hands (Lk 23:46)
LET US DARE TO LOVE, AS HE LOVED!
