''The Passion,'' which debuted on Ash Wednesday, rocketed to the No. 1 box-office slot for the weekend with $76.2 million from Friday to Sunday.

"See mother, I make all things new."
It ripped my HEART out, I'm telling you.
Jesus is Lord.
Gibson is inspired.
And, 'it is as it was.'
IMHO, of course.
