Good Friday

Jesus lived the nonviolent, self-giving love of God to the fullest.  He never compromised that love, even in the face of ridicule, punishment, and the cross.  When he calls out, "It is accomplished," he is announcing the wholeness of that life.  In a way, it is the completion of God's original creation of the human being, because Jesus has fulfilled the life God has intended for all of us "from the beginning,"
and opened a path of fulfillment for us as well.  This is why we call Holy Friday "Good."
