theevangelista:Three thoughts for your Good Friday: “Love is also the fullest source of the answer to the question of the meaning of suffering. This answer has been given by God to man in the Cross of Jesus Christ.” —Bl. John Paul II, Salvifici Doloris“God is not proud…He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him."—CS Lewis“The Shepherd who sets off to seek the lost sheep is the eternal Word himself, and the sheep that he lovingly carries home on his shoulders is humanity, the human existence that he took upon himself. In his Incarnation and Cross he brings home the stray sheep, humanity; he brings me home, too. The incarnate Logos is the true ‘sheep-bearer’—the Shepherd who follows after us through the thorns and deserts of our life. Carried on his shoulders, we come home. He gave his life for us. He himself is life.” —Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth Vol. 1Image: “Sacred Heart” by Georges Desvailleres -- source link
