An Arab Orthodox Christian Meditation On The Crucifixion


Great Friday makes us stand face to face before Jesus crucified for our salvation. In it we meet the secret of redemption with repentance and receive forgiveness. This day will not be fruitful for me unless I live sincere repentance at my feet Jesus and this day was a holy day of sorrow. Just as from the top of the cross I declared forgiveness when God said to the priest, "Today you will be with me in Paradise," I also must strive to get from my faithful lips a word of forgiveness.

Finally I must put the cross in the center of my life as a nail tool. Put the sacrifice of Jesus at the center of life, thought and will, looking at people and things from the cross's point of view, this is true repentance that imposes drastic change in our entire lives so that Jesus becomes the crucified one who goes through everything in our lives. And when one understands the "centered" of the cross, that day is the most important day of his life.
