Good Friday 2023


For contemplation on this holy day . . .


Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus)               Salvador Dali, 1954






Stay with me, remain here with me, watch and pray!
Stay here and keep watch with me. Watch and pray, watch and pray!
Watch and pray not to give way to temptation.
The spirit is eager, but the flesh is weak.
My heart is nearly broken with sorrow. Remain here with me, stay awake and pray.
Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by.
Father, if this cannot pass me by without my drinking it, your will be done



Christ of Saint John of the Cross                          Salvador Dali, 1951
