He was pierced for our offenses,
crushed for our sins.

| Isaiah 53:5 |

Contemplating the Crucified One with the eyes of faith
we can understand in depth what sin is,
how tragic is its gravity, and at the same time,
how immense is the Lord's power of forgiveness and mercy.

When Jesus was reviled,
he did not revile in return;
when he suffered, he did not threaten;
but he trusted to him who judges justly. |

Christ gave himself up to be mocked and reviled,
and at the end, endured the cross, the nails, the lance;
remaining always gentle, meek, and full of peace.

Let us run to accompany Jesus as he hastens toward his passion.
Let us cover his path, not with olive branches,
but by doing all we can; to be humble, trying to live as he would wish.
