Day 39
Dear God, on this Good Friday, a day shrouded in sorrow, we remember Jesus’ immense suffering. The betrayal, mockery, and agonizing pain of the cross unfold before us, a stark reminder of the tremendous price paid for our salvation.
Even amidst the crushing weight of Good Friday, a flicker of hope remains. Jesus’ unwavering love for humanity shines through in his final act of forgiveness: “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”
Lord, help us find strength in Jesus’ sacrifice, a testament to the depths of your love for us. May we learn from his example of compassion and forgiveness, even in the face of immense pain.
As we contemplate the darkness of this day, may we hold fast to the promise whispered in those final words – the promise of redemption, of a new beginning, and the light to come. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
