"It's All Consummated"
With these words from today's Gospel, we reflect this Friday of Holy Week on the highest and saddest point of the Christian faith, which is the crucifixion and death of Jesus on the cross.
Our Lord went through great humiliations like never before seen in the history of mankind until his death.
He was slandered, humiliated, betrayed, spit on. They hit his face, he was whipped, knocked to the ground, trampled on, among other aggression that are reported by several scholars about the life of Christ.
Jesus was a man who only did good. A God who dwelt among us and who was a victim of our wickedness. A God who felt the evil, mean and cruel side of human beings.
A pity that even today in our modern times people attack Jesus.
Today he is still slandered, they punch him, kick him, spit in his face when they slander him saying he "did not exist", when he is offended, when he is blasphemed. A sadness.
But, remembering his last words when he was nailed to the cross:
"Forgive them, Father, they don't know what they do."
