"It is finished" - τετέλεσται.
A special form of 'telos;' a past event, now complete, with lasting ramifications.
"It" is more than the crucifixion. It's the entire Divine plan, from all time, to draw us home by the conquest of Love.
Behold, the cost. Behold, the Cross.
If you think life is boring... remember, you are going to die.
And then you will have to make an account to God for every word and action of your life.
Ah! Get going!
Come Holy Spirit!
"If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great."-Pope Benedict XVI #WednesdayWisdom
We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green.
