We acknowledge the pain and woundedness of Good Friday. To deny it is to numb ourselves, not only to the pain but also to love. We go through grief, confusion, fear, and uncertainties of Black Saturday. We are shaken. Through all this we hold on to Jesus and He will never let go. His seeming absence and silence can sometimes discourage us but we know He is there. Jesus is there, ready to forgive... always loving. We accept, we embrace this Mercy... this love. Sometimes, it is difficult, we still do not feel worthy of being loved. Still Jesus offers His love.
He continues to knock gently at the doors of our hearts and slowly opens our eyes if we open our doors to Him.(Jesus of Nazareth vol 2, p 276)
It can be overwhelming and sometimes incomprehensible. But you just know... this is love.
He is ALIVE. Let us entrust ourselves to Him, knowing that we are on the right path. With Thomas let us place our hands into Jesus' pierced side and confess: "My Lord and my God!" (Jn 20:28) (Jesus of Nazareth vol 2, p 277)
