“How many of our brothers and sisters are reliving in their flesh the drama of Calvary!
I think of the tragic images of violence, wars and conflicts, … of the anguish and pain of individuals and peoples on every continent, which reach us daily from so many places; of the disfigurement of human dignity …
Can we remain indifferent to this piercing cry of pain rising from so many parts of the planet?
Before these disturbing questions, the answer is offered by faith. It is an answer contained in the very event we commemorate today [Good Friday]: the death of Christ. While, indeed, the night is still dark, we can already glimpse the dawn of the new day, the day of resurrection. The final victory is not of death. The last word is of God, who will resurrect, on the third day, the only-begotten Son immolated for us.”
Words of St. Pope John Paul II, Way of the Cross at the Colosseum, Good Friday, April 18, 2003.
