He Has Loved Us to Folly
Good Friday 2025
This is the day on which we put our God to death, and when we sin, we attempt once more to destroy the God Who created us. The prostration in this ceremony is an expression of our utter nothingness. Friday was the day on which man was created, and so it is on this day he is redeemed. God loved us from eternity – loved us to folly. We are the perpetrators of the Passion, and yet Christ still gave us the grace to be sorry. The Blessed Mother would have willingly died a million times for our sake, yet she was sustained through the unimaginable pain of soul she endured. We hope that we might share in our Redeemer’s death today, so that, like the Good Thief, He might remember us also in His kingdom. The Cross of Christ, along with all His sufferings, will be offered for all eternity to the Trinity for us. Even if we were saints, we could not fathom how our God could love us in this way.
