Father Duffy The central fact of the Christian religion is the passion and death )f Jesus Christ. The primary reason for this is that it was through dis Passion and death that Jesus Christ merited redemption, eleva tion by grace, the opportunity to attain the vision and enjoyment of jod forever in heaven, for all human beings who would ever be born. 3ut the events of the first Good Friday were not isolated happenings n the course of human history;. rather, they were the summation of ill that had transpired since the creation of Adam and Eve. Calvary has no meaning except in relation to the first days of humanity. After the creation of the first man and woman, and their con sequent sin of disobedience, a great gulf existed between God and he human race. The human race had the task of “paying back” or the sin of Adam and Eve. Through the countless centuries that transpired until Christ, all attempts by mankind to satisfy God failed, rhe attempts were sincere. But a finite creation was trying to satisfy in infinite God. All the sacrifices of the Old Law had their own par ticular merit and satisfaction. But they fell infinitely short of the needed goal. Only a God-Man could redeem the human race and God, as He promised in the Garden of Paradise, sent His Only-Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to satisfy the obligations of humanity. His death was the Perfect Sacrifice. His death was the infinite sacrifice that satisfied an infinite God. Good Friday is a day of mixed emotions. We are sad because we are once again reminded of the terrible sufferings that Christ endured. We sometimes forget that these sufferings were endureu freely — for all of us. But Good Friday does have a hidden beauty, because it is only through Christ’s passion and death that we are capable of attaining the eternal happiness of heaven. Without the satisfaction of Christ, the human race would not be able to attain the goals for which it is destined. Without the sadness of the death of Christ, we could never experience the joy and happiness of Easter.
