For this Holy Friday:
-- Saint Ambrose
Maybe there is something fundamental about accepting the 'nature' of things. Is this nature of things, the nature of love?
Perhaps this why the statement, "Death, now, has no sting" is true...because it is not, in fact, the end we so are so afraid of.
It is a great mystery of divine love, that not even in Christ was exception made of the death of the body; and although He was the Lord of nature, He refused not the law of the flesh which He had taken upon Him. It is necessary for me to die; for Him it was not necessary.

But, why death?
Life comes from death. Repeat.
Life Comes from death. Repeat.
Life comes From death.
Life comes from Death.
Is this something God knows, that we don't...until it happens to us?

All because of divine love?
Is this part of what Jesus reflected thru his own words on this infamous weekend a couple of centuries ago?
Forgiveness is the only way to reverse the flow of history.
