03/29/24 The Man of Sorrows

Homily from Good Friday.

Jesus won the world in His weakness.

We would like for our Lord to be triumphant in His conquering of sin and death. But the people around Him as He saved the world were largely ignorant, indifferent, or antagonistic. Yet, Jesus won the world through His wounds.
