We will soon commemorate Good Friday. This is the day when the whole world stands still. We will recall the great Sacrifice offered on the second tree on Golgotha's Hill. There, the one St. Paul calls the New Adam (1 Cor.15), in the perfect obedience of love, did for us what we could not do on our own. There, Heaven was wed to earth.

become a vehicle for love and mercy. It can also become material out of
which we are changed, by grace, into a reflection of Mercy Incarnate,
the Lord Jesus Christ, for others.
