4/7/23 | John 19:16-30

Year A, Good Friday Quotation from today's reflection: “I simply argue that the cross be raised again,at the centre of the marketplaceas well as on the steeple of the church.I am recovering the claim thatJesus was not crucifiedin a cathedral between two candlesbut on a cross between two thieves;on a town garbage heap;at a crossroad of politics so cosmopolitanthat they had to write His titlein Hebrew and in Latin and in Greek …and at the kind of placewhere cynics talk smut,and thieves curse, and soldiers gamble.Because that is where He died,And that is what He died about.And that is where Christ’s own ought to be,And that is what church people ought to be about.”― George MacLeod
