Good Friday

Posted March 21st, 2008 by Ben Cieslik
in

O my people, o my church, what more could I have done for you? This is truly an indicting refrain that is a part of our liturgy this Good Friday. Its repetition is haunting, and it is haunting because the story it tells is our own story. It is a story of God's love, a story of God's saving acts, it is a story of God's faithful commitment to God's own people and it is a story of that people's unfaithfulness. It is our story. It is a story that is completed today on the cross. O my people, O my church, what more could I have done for you? It is a question repeated often today.
