Good Friday

Wow, amazing. It's just Amazing! You know how it feels with you absolutely know that Jesus is with you always?

Now it's probably because it's Good Friday, we catholic choose to be with Him. On Holy Thursday night, He had the last supply with his disciples. He created the sacrement of Eucharist for us. Then he went to the garden to pray to God, the Agony in the Garden. That was the most beautiful prayer ever. Jesus is God, but in the prayer, it also showed the humanity in Him. He was spiritually weak because he knew he was going to be crucified. He prayed to God like child's cry came from his heart.

"Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; remove this cup from me. Yet not my will but yours be done" (Mark 14:36)

Jesus, the lamb for the burnt offering, has to die and rises again to save us. From this, he leads us to eternal life. He is willing to sacrifice for us. And all he asks for is to be with him when he prays, when he's weak in the garden, when he is carrying the cross to Golgotha, when he is nailed to the cross, when he shows us his mother, when he dies.

Happy are those who are Christians. We are with the Christ. We remember his wounds, his death and his resurrection. He lives in us, and we live in Him.
