NEW: Christ’s Passion reveals the depths of God’s love for us

In His Passion and death, Jesus chose to enter into the very depths of human suffering in order to redeem it and to be one with every person who suffers, conquering death and opening the way to fullness of life. In doing so, Christ restored dignity and gave meaning to the suffering and death of every human being.

Today and each day of this Holy Week, let us say with faith and love, “We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you; by your Cross you have redeemed the world.”
