Good Friday
Why is it called Good Friday? Humanity’s primaeval need for a scapegoat is satisfied and transformed by what happens on this day.
Girard had it right
Find willing servant victim
and make all things well
*****************************
Begins forsaken
Yet fully rehearsed and said
Ends with deliv’rance
*****************************
Law inscribed on hearts
for a new and living way
Through a torn curtain
*****************************
Stay long if you dare
with crucifixion drama
Through it find your life.
