Holy Week: Good Friday meditation

they crucified him and divided his clothes, casting lots on them what everyone would take. It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The inscription with the reason for his sentence said: "The king of the Jews." They also crucified two robbers with him, one on the right and one on his left. When it was noon, it got dark all over the earth until three in the afternoon. At three o'clock, Jesus shouted in a loud voice: «Eloì, Eloì, lemà sabactàni?», Which means: «My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?». Hearing this, some of those present said, "Behold, call Elijah!" One ran to soak a sponge in vinegar, stared at it on a cane and gave him a drink, saying: "Wait, let's see if Elijah comes to bring him down." But Jesus, giving a loud cry, died.

O Lord, what can I tell you on this holy night? Is there any word that could come from my mouth, some thought, some sentence? You died for me, you gave everything for my sins; not only did you become a man for me, but you also suffered the most atrocious death for me. Is there an answer? I wish I could find a suitable answer, but in contemplating your holy passion and death I can only humbly confess that the immensity of your divine love makes any answer totally inadequate. Just let me stand before you and look at you.
Your body is broken, your head is injured, your hands and feet are torn by nails, your side is pierced. Your body now rests in your mother's arms. Now it's all over. It's over. It is accomplished. It is fulfilled. Lord, generous and compassionate Lord, I adore you, I praise you, I thank you. You made all things new through your passion and your death. Your cross has been planted in this world as a new sign of hope. May I always live under your cross, O Lord, and unceasingly proclaim the hope of your cross.
