to break down the barriers that separate people
from each other, from God,
from what is deepest within each one.
He is witnessing to the truth:
the truth of love,
the truth of the Love of God
and the God of love,
the truth of the importance of each person.
Evil screams and roars.
Truth is a light that shines in the darkness.
Silent, it draws forth what is deepest within us.
In his final hour Jesus lays down his life
for those he loves,
and for the unity of humanity.
He goes freely to his death,
free to give his life,
free to give us life.
And there in Golgotha . . .
Jesus is at the heart of history,
the center of humankind
drawing all people to the God of love.
