On this Good Friday, may we prayerfully contemplate not only Christ’s ultimate sacrifice but also how his offering restores our human dignity. Whether captive to our sins, our pride, or harm inflicted by others, we are redeemed by Christ, who became one with our suffering. Now, our human condition is no longer a source of shame or separation. Christ’s redeeming love loosens our bonds, heals our wounds, and leads us to lasting freedom.
