GOOD  FRIDAY

 
Is the key word, “good”?
 
We know “bad” as in,
“I’m having a bad day.”
 
Bad as in we’re judged and condemned ….
Bad as in we’re hit by spit ….
Bad as in slipping and falling ….
Bad as in we are nailed down ….
Bad as in dying on a cross ….
 
What’s a “good” day?
 
Good as in someone helping us carry our cross ….
Good as in someone nodding support to us on the way ….
Good as in someone helping us when we fall …
Good as in someone hearing our mutterings and moans ….
Good as in someone there when we are dying ….

What’s a good day?
What’s a bad day?
 

Each day is a different day –
but each day we can enter into
the mystery of carrying the giant cross of the world
and experience death and resurrection.
