True reverence for the Lord’s passion means fixing the eyes of our heart
on Jesus crucified… No one, however weak, is denied a share in the victory of
the cross. No one is beyond the help of the prayer of Christ. His prayer
brought benefit to the multitude that raged against him. How much more does it
bring to those who turn to him in repentance. Ignorance has been destroyed,
obstinacy has been overcome. The sacred blood of Christ has quenched the
flaming sword that barred access to the tree of life. The age-old night of sin
has given place to the true light. The Christian people are invited to share
the riches of paradise.

Christ Crucified
