Lent is my favorite season of the year, and Good Friday is my second-favorite day of the year; second to Easter, that is.
Looking at sacred art like this or watching movies like The Passion make it so much more real, less abstract—the suffering Our Lord endured for our sake. We are so unworthy. I am so unworthy.
God lowered himself, not only to become a man but, to die a gruesome death. For our sakes. For my sake.
And if I could lie down, prostrate, every day before taking Communion, I would, because that is how unworthy I am.
Thank you, Jesus, my God, my King. I love you with all my heart. Please never let me be separated from you.
