Good Friday, the day Catholics cherish the memories of sweet Jesus where he sacrificed his life on a cross in a way that is recognized as how top class murderers are sentenced to death. All because of the sins of human kind as Catholics believe. The greatest sacrifice ever is remembered year after year, for sure till the end of the world. But is it only the love of Jesus that we have to take into our lives? As a catholic I'd like to mention few characters who went through a real lot for the salvation of mankind.
The first name comes to my mind is Mother Mary. Let's forget Mary being the mother of Jesus. A mom who searched for 3 days in church when her son was lost, a sweet girlfriend being pregnant before marriage and went through a lot of social drama, a mother giving birth to her first child in a manger, a wife traveling for days to save the life of Jesus and family seeing his child being crucified half naked. Yet she was unable to express her feelings. How much would she went through inside because of love?
The lady saved by Jesus when people were taking her to be killed as she was a prostitute. Her savior is taken away to be crucified but she is helpless. Managed only to give a relief to Jesus by wiping blood, dirt and sweat away from the holy face though for sure she wanted to do more. Even to save her guardian angel.
Apostles on the other hand are in a real dilemma. Their passionate leader is taken away. But they can't do anything. Master did not want to fight as well. Peter refused Jesus. Yes true. But realized it and then should be wondering what to do.
Even Pilate, tried his best to save Jesus but he couldn't manage.
The love we have for others can be expressed. And you will be loved back. But there are moments where you love the world but you are helpless that you can't show it. You even cannot let the other party who needs that love and compassion feel it no matter how much you are desired. Keep trying. Keep Loving. The love you have do not have to be heard or shown.
