We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world

Jesus was not the only one who suffered the cross that day. Mary, His mother was there and shared it in another way.

The most intense trail of her life must have weakened her. But Now, seeing His face, she sees more than only His pain. She detects HIs resolve, His utter fearlessness. She is strengtherned by it.

Courage is required to persevere in faithfulness to God. It is not will power of our own. Amid trials and temptations to "take it easy" we need to cling to Him and the gift is He.




Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,

and forgive us our trespasses as
we forgive those who trespass against us.
Do not lead us to the test, but deliver us from all evil - Amen
