On this Good Friday I offer you a post written by Mary Anne Best (maryanne@third-force.org).  Her thoughts lead us toward prayerful consideration of both this day and the way we are called to live with one another in relationship.

A Reading from the Holy Gospel

 For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth.

Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.

Pilate said to Him, ‘What is truth?’

John 18: 37-38

 The Gospel of the Lord

Again, we approach the question: If you truly knew that you had come from God

and were returning to God, is there anything you could not forgive?

Is there anything you would not do for another? Is there not a kind word you would give?

Where would you place your attention?

Would you be concerned about you had achieved, acquired, your possessions, titles?

.

There is a model to follow/enter into Truth,to knowing, to being,

to Life …

to knowing who you are, why you are in world, and what you are.

Is there anything we should not forgive – is there anything we should not do – is there not a kind word that we should have for each other – today, Good Friday, we remember the ultimate sacrifice – so let us remember whose we are and why we are in the world.

Grace and peace
