VARIATIONS ON A GOOD
FRIDAY STORY
I'll do it! I'll do it! |
The youth organizations were in charge of the live Way of
the Cross, putting their heart and soul into creating a realistic scene at
every station while following a very precise script.
Then it happened. The narrator intoned: “Fifth Station, Simon of Cyrene is made to
carry the cross.” On cue, a “Roman officer” shouts the order to his cohorts:
“find someone to help Jesus of Nazareth carry the cross!”
She faced the “soldiers” and stood her grounds. And the
Way of the Cross moved on to its deathly conclusion refreshed by this simple
and spontaneous act of faith and compassion.
It lifted my soul.
