Good Friday: Personal Reflection, Option 2

 

Option 2. John the Beloved. 

Read
Read Jn 18:1-19:42 once through to familiarize yourself with the Passion narrative. 

Immersion.
Read the Passion Narrative again. This time, read it from the eyes of John. Even if John is not mentioned in certain scenes, allow yourself the freedom to imagine where he could have been, what he was thinking etc. 


*Reflection
If you find yourself being drawn to a particular scene, stay on that scene as you pray. You can guide your reflection with the following questions

  • “…Whom do you seek?” (John 18:4) Who is Jesus to you? 
  • If you are drawn to a particular scene, why? How do you feel at the particular scene? 
  • As you imagine yourself standing at the foot of the cross, what do you see? How do you feel? 
  • How does Jesus speak to you in your life situation in this present moment?

Closing Prayer
Thank the Lord for this time of reflection.

Pope Benedict reminds us of the fact that Jesus is with us always and walks with us in the minutiae of our lives, no matter how ugly or despicable or doubtful. He died, rose from the dead and yet, continues to accompany us daily.
