Jesus Christ loved us, and poured out His own blood for us to wash away our sins.
~antiphon from morning prayer
Today is a day that I have mixed feelings. I feel sadness that Jesus, who loved us so much had to be nailed to the cross to wash away our sins. Yet we still on a daily basis turn away from Him by continuing to sin. Then I feel joy that He did love us enough despite our sinful nature to die so that we would be saved. He even gave us His Body and Blood in the Eucharist so that we would be nourished.
Christ our salvation, you gave yourself up to death out of love for us,
- help us to show your love to one another.
