Suggested Good Friday meditation: Genesis 22:1-14 and Psalm 22.

On the Sacrifice of Good Friday:

“God’s Son, that is to say, became man in order to do what unaided man was unable to do–to give himself completely to God in perfect and consummate love, thereby restoring the human race to divine communion.”
