In the final moments of Christ's passion, when, with pierced hands and feet, he poured out all of his precious blood on human soil to make it fruitful, lived his last hours and experienced human suffering to a greater extent than we can understand, the Gospels tell us that the earth was covered with darkness. Lord, in our lives there are also hours completely covered in darkness, sad hours in which the veil cast over our hearts hides even those things that could give us comfort, hours in which we suffer in such a way that nothing on earth can console us. Happy are those who during such times of outer darkness can still at least contemplate you, Jesus Christ, the only Life. Happy are those whose weak arms can still clasp your feet on the cross, who can lean their weary heads against your pierced hands and their bruised hearts on the heart that has suffered so much and is filled with such compassion and love.
