Jesus Falls for the Second Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly\u201d<\/em> (1 Pet 2:23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFather, forgive them; for they know not what they do\u201d <\/em>(Lk 23:34). Lord, you too bore the burden of condemnation, rejection, abandonment and suffering inflicted by persons who had met you, listened to you, and followed you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the certainty that the Father had not abandoned you, you found the strength to accept his will<\/strong> by offering forgiveness, love and hope to those who today, like you, walk the same path of ridicule, contempt, mockery, abandonment, betrayal and loneliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
