Behold the Man

This Good Friday, since we cannot meet together, it is fitting to spend time in your personal and family devotions meditating on the way in which God loved the world: that He sent His only Son to die for the sins of all so that whoever believes in Him might not perish but have eternal life.

I invite you to look on these images and see the depth of love He has for you. See how great your sin is that these are its wages. See how much He endured for you. See His sorrow and love flow mingled down from His head, His hands and arms, His back, His sacred heart, His legs, His feet. See the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world by His death to give you life.
