GOOD FRIDAY PRAYERS TO END ABORTION

[Salvation]

**O Jesus … remember that you did promise that when you would be elevated on the cross, you would draw all hearts to you. Behold, my heart, softened into tenderness by your death, will no longer resist your calls. Draw all its affections to your love. You have died for me, and I wish to live only for you…**

These lines caught me. Oh, dear Jesus!

[Rennes Templar]

Although Jesus death is significant, I have always thought His resurrection was His more special gift. This proved he was God, not dying. He was on the cross for three hours, yet we have had Him on it for two thousand years. While we observe his resurrection only one day per year, the cucifix is always on view. I revere Jesus as the Resurrected One, which lifts me up in times of trial.

i thought God is eternal ?

[Rennes Templar]

Broadly speaking, the term relgion includes the eternal God.

[Rennes Templar]

OOps I replied to your comment wtih a remark from another relgious thread I’m on.

Yes I would agree that God is eternal.

[annieokie]

Your right, Jesus is no longer on that cross. The crosses in our church no longer have Jesus on them. He is risen, up from the grave he arose.

The easter celebration is because HE LIVES.

[campaignPete R-CT]

i guess some people here think that Alphonsus needs a theology lesson.

[Rennes Templar]

I have no crucifixes or in my house either.

One of my favorites is “Uniformity with God’s Will”:

LOL!

We as Catholics celebrate the Resurrection. Can’t quite figure out why all these people seem to be so negative about a cricifix. Any clues?

[eyedigress]

This is the day we celebrate the Life given to keep Satan in hell forever. Do not mock.

I guess people don’t realize that the story doesn’t end here. They have to wait until Sunday and then try to count the number of times that Christ appears. Even John tells us that all the appearances are not recorded!

Hang on — for the ending of the story — tomorrow!

Being Catholic: Sacred Things, Crucifixes and Crosses

[campaignPete R-CT]

Can’t quite figure out why all these people seem to be so negative about a crucifix. Any clues?

They think that the Passion of Christ is a thing of the past. They don't get the concept that with God, there is no past, present, future. I'll leave it to somebody else to expand.

But the "Full Gospel" includes the life, death, & resurrection. Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious. Maybe some people cannot handle all that, so they focus on the Resurrection. I wonder if the Ascension and Pentecost are allowed to be included, too. Anyone?

"For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."

"We preach Christ crucified"
