| The Passion of Christ |
| |
|
Jesus did not pretend to suffer and die. Rather, it was the moment of his utter defeat. He was entirely alone with the burden of our sin that he had taken on himself to the point of annihilation and the feeling of total abandonment by his Father.

|
The checkered history of the (good) thief seems, in an instant, to take on new meaning: he was meant to be there to accompany the Lord’s suffering. And, that moment does nothing more than confirm the entire meaning of Jesus’ life: always and everywhere, to offer salvation.

|
Jesus would be crucified outside the city, high up on Golgotha, to be condemned by the gaze of all the inhabitants and derided by their sarcastic comments. However, from there, from the cross, the new tree of life, God’s power would draw all to himself.

Jesus died, rejected by the great city of Jerusalem, crucified outside its walls. God’s decision is clear: to reveal his love, he chose a little city and a scorned city; and when he reached Jerusalem, he joined the population of sinners and the rejected.

When we turn our gaze to the Cross, where Jesus was nailed, we contemplate the sign of God's infinite love for each one of us, and the root of our salvation.

|
The mystery of Jesus Christ is a mystery of smallness: he abased himself; he annihilated himself. The mystery of Jesus, as we see in the Host at every Mass, is a mystery of smallness, of humble love, and it can be grasped only by becoming small and attending to the little ones.

To understand the mystery of the cross it’s necessary to know in anticipation that he that suffers and is glorified is not only a man, but the Son of God, who has saved us, with his faithful love to death.
