Holy Week 2023
We want to look at the Son on the cross, from top to bottom,
with the eyes of God the Father.
Salvador Dalì, “Christ of St. John of the Cross”
The second person of the Divine Trinity, moved by love,
offered himself to the Father as a sublime holocaust, which would redeem man from sin.
And the Almighty abandoned his only Son to a disgraceful death,
to save the guilty one who was still very dear to him.
Then a powerful voice arose from the heavenly council,
proclaiming this consoling prophecy: “The Cross will save the world!
(Carlo Tancredi Falletti of Barolo)
