“GOOD FRIDAY” by Des Kelly

I write this in dedication to Jesus of Nazareth, the son of a Carpenter, Joseph, & a Mother, Mary, Immaculate, also known to all Christians as the “Virgin Mary”, around 2000 years ago. Jesus, a Nazarine, was, is, and always will be known as the Son of God, except, of course, to the atheist who does not believe in any God, but this writer, unworthy, though I am, have always believed that, in two simple words, “God Is”. I am a Roman Catholic, only by name, perhaps, but still, when I have needed HIS help, HE has never disappointed me, because I talk with HIM, and beg God to, not only help me, but others who also need this Divine God Almighty to assist them as they go through life.

Anyway, this is my personal dedication to Jesus, the Man, who lived for just 33 years before He was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemani, accused and sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman Emperor, after suffering the most horrendous torture, before being nailed, hands & feet to this wooden cross at Calvary. I will not go into all the horrible suffering of Jesus on this particular Good Friday.

Every living Christian will know the story, suffice to say that HE died for every one of you, out there, died, begging of HIS FATHER, GOD “Father, forgive them, for they know not, what they do”

The “Good News” is that HE rose again, on the Sunday, following, and, after speaking with his disciples, was escorted triumphantly to Heaven to sit at the right- hand side of HIS FATHER, and so, we ordinary human beings get to celebrate EASTER.

As usual, my chosen “video-clips” tell the story, because of another “gift” to me through a very generous God, I am able to complete this dedication with music, the music I love, & I am sure, you’ll love as well. Have a happy Easter, everybody.
