On Good Friday we recall the passion, suffering and death of Jesus. A day of prayer, fasting and reflection, Good Friday is a time for loving remembrance of those who are outcast, alone and neglected. The end of Jesus life in death and resurrection provides yet another chapter in the astonishing narrative of Gods immersion in matter. No exception to perhaps the only ironclad rule in all of nature, Jesus died – his life bleeding out in a spasm of state violence. Contemporary theology emphasizes that Christs suffering on Good Friday reveals Gods compassion with all who suffer throughout history. Crosses keep on being set up in the world, connecting the human race with the red thread of agony. In Christ, God sympathizes and desires passionately that we take all the crucified peoples down from the cross. - Elizabeth Johnson, Theologian
