Holy Tuesday: Jesus' Passion is dreadful; it is wonderful

How very dark, how dreadful, how unspeakably cruel is Jesus' Passion; yet how wonderful, how full of lovingkindness and divine mercy. Yet the flesh is weak while the spirit is willing, so we faint at the sight. And we, with the naked young man, flee. But we must return; we must be led of the Spirit back to embrace this poor Christ, for there is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved. So let us, with Joseph of Arimathea, crave the Body of Jesus. (Note: In the sermon I misspoke: I said Simon of Cyrene when I meant this Joseph) Sermon for Holy Tuesday.
