“None of us have been through what Jesus went through, and yet he forgave. Can you imagine that? On Good Friday you want to go to church and just think of Our Dear Lord hanging that way for so long.”
Mother Angelica also issued a challenge to her audience.
“This week I would like you, before Good Friday, to call your favorite enemy– we all have favorite enemies. It’s the one you hate the most, the one you talk about the most, the one you wish terrible things would happen to. Call that one up and say, ‘I forgive you,’” she said.
“Now, if he answers, ‘Get lost,’ which he might, you don’t need to worry. You have forgiven him.”
Meditate on God’s love and mercy
“I don’t think it takes a lot to be holy. I think it’s easy if you know a few basic things, like ‘Jesus loves me. He loves me.’ I was 18 before I knew that. That was a lot of wasted years.”
