Good Friday - The Price of Truth:
The cross is our obedience to the price of truth and love—with no assurance that it is going “to work.” As in the life of Jesus, the cross leads us to perfect faith. The cross is doing the truth, laying down one’s life for one’s friends.
====================================================================
In his death, all human life acquires meaning and value, as does death itself. From the Cross, Christ appeals to the personal freedom of men and women in every period of history and calls each one to follow him on the path of complete abandonment into the hands of God. He even makes us rediscover the mysterious fruitfulness of pain.
- John Paul the Great (Good Friday sermon, 2001)
