Human One. The Passion is a process and not simply a
moment.
So as we prepare for this Holy Week I guide your atten-
tion to Jesus the man. It is in His humanity and suffering
that we can learn the most from Jesus. How did God act
when God was in our midst? As we proceed toward Good
Friday, carry your crosses with Jesus toward Calvary. Let your pain be His and His
be yours. For this He took on flesh. And let us on Easter morning, embrace the
benefits of his ultimate triumph over the human condition.

Gracious Lord, we thank you for your sacrifice. We thank you for making yourself
manifest in the world taking on the human condition, our condition. It is your
act of solidarity that will serve as our focus this Passion week. Amen
