It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last.
Luke 23:44-46
Today is Good Friday. This afternoon I was a reader at the Stations of the Cross service at our church. It was very moving. It was my job to read a centering prayer after each station, and I think I did a good job. My back was killing me by the time it was over, after standing for over an hour. I guess that was nothing compared to the agony Jesus was in on this day 2000 years ago though.
