There are moments in our lives as well when we have to suffer all alone, abandoned by both friends and foes. In such moments, our faith in God is also put to a severe test. In our suffering, we may also cry out like Jesus.
It is by the blood of the Paschal Lamb hung on the Cross that man’s innate thirst for liberation – the exodus from death to life, sin to grace, slavery to freedom – is quenched.
let us recognize Jesus as the true King of our life, personal and social, human and cosmic – just as people eventually accepted David as the King of North/Israel and South/Judah (2 Samuel 5) – accept our human fragility with a repentant heart and always ask His forgiveness.
