Wow!
The Passion of our Lord is amazing
And today, I want to share something with you from my favorite homily
It is an ancient homily
And even to this day, we still do not know the author’s name
Exerts from an ancient Homily
Something strange is happening; there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness.
The whole earth keeps silent because the King is asleep.
The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh, and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began.
God has died in the flesh.
And hell trembles with fear.
For your sake, God became your son;
The Lord took the form of a slave
He whose home is above the heavens descended to the earth and beneath the earth.
For our sake, for the sake of man, God became like a man without help, free among the dead.
For the sake of us, who left a garden, God was crucified in a garden.
See on his face the spittle Jesus received in order to restore us to life.
See there the marks of the blows he received in order to refashion us.
On his back, see the marks of the scourging he endured to remove the burden of sin that weighs upon our back.
See Jesus’s hands nailed firmly to a tree.
Rise, let us leave this place.
The throne formed by cherubim awaits us.
The bridal chamber is adorned, the banquet is ready, the eternal dwelling places are prepared, and the treasure houses of all good things lie open.
The kingdom of heaven has been prepared for you from all eternity.
