Catholic Gospel Reflection: Standing at the Foot of the Cross | Good Friday (Year A)

In this Catholic reflection for Good Friday Nicole takes her fellow restless hearts to Golgotha: the scourging, crown of thorns, the heavy beam, the nails piercing wrists and feet, the labored breathing, and the cry “My God, why have you forsaken me?”  

She explores why the Church still calls this darkest day “Good”— because God Himself came in the flesh to be crushed for our sins so we could be healed.Image: By Attributed to Ermanno Stroiffi - http://www.stilearte.it/arte-e-persuasione-al-museo-diocesano-tridentino-dal-7-marzo-la-strategia-delle-immagini-dopo-il-concilio-di-trento/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=55810113
