On Good Friday, St. Alphonsus Liguori reminds us of a powerful truth: meditating on the Passion of Jesus Christ is one of the greatest means of acquiring divine love.

Yet, how often is Christ neglected?

In this meditation, we reflect on:

The immense suffering Our Lord endured out of love for us
The ingratitude of the world toward His sacrifice
The mystery of God dying for sinful man
The overwhelming love shown in both the Cross and the Holy Eucharist

As St. Paul says: “He loved us and delivered Himself up for us.”
And as St. Bonaventure reflects, Christ loved us so intensely it seemed as if He "hated Himself" to prove that love.

From the brutal reality of the Passion to the humility of the Eucharist, this meditation invites you to ask:

👉 How can anyone contemplate Jesus crucified and not be moved to love Him?

Let this Good Friday reflection draw your heart closer to Christ and awaken a deeper love for Him who gave everything for you.

🙏 “God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Galatians 6:14)
