In
Revelation, we are warned about satan, that
old serpent the dragon:
❖[Revelation
12:9]❖
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out
into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
Friday's events
are recorded in Matthew 27:1-62, Mark 15:1-47, Luke 22:63, Luke
23:56, and John 18:28, John 19:37.
In the early
morning hours, as Jesus' trial was getting underway, Peter denied
knowing his Master three times before the rooster crowed.
Good Friday is
the most difficult day of Passion Week. Christ's journey turned
treacherous and acutely painful in these final hours leading to his
death.
According to
Scripture, Judas Iscariot, the disciple who had betrayed Jesus, was
overcome with remorse and hanged himself early Friday morning.
Meanwhile,
before the third hour (9 a.m.), Jesus endured the shame of false
accusations, condemnation, mockery, beatings, and abandonment. After
multiple unlawful trials, He was sentenced to death by crucifixion,
one of the most horrible and disgraceful methods of capital
punishment known at the time.
Before Christ
was led away, soldiers spit on him, tormented and mocked him, and
pierced him with a crown of thorns. Then Jesus carried His cross part
of the way to Calvary and then a man named Simon was compelled to
carry it the rest of the way. At Calvary, Jesus was again mocked and
insulted as Roman soldiers nailed Him to the wooden cross.
Jesus spoke
seven powerful statements from the cross, including "Father,
forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke
23:34, NIV), "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit"
(Luke 23:46, NIV), and His last words were, “It is finished”
(John 19:30).
Then, about the
ninth hour (3 p.m.), Jesus breathed his last breath and died.
By 6 p.m.
Friday evening, Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea took Jesus' body
down from the cross and lay it in a tomb.

Monday (Holy Week). [Matt. 21] ❖❖❖
The Lord goes to a
voluntary passion. We must accompany Him. This is the duty of anyone
who confesses that by the power of Christ’s passion he has become
who he is now, and of anyone who hopes to receive something which is
so great and glorious, that it could not even enter one’s mind. How
must one accompany Him? Through reflection and sympathy. Follow the
suffering Lord in thought; and in your reflection extract such
impressions as could strike your heart and bring it to feel the
sufferings which were borne by the Lord. In order to better
accomplish this, you must make yourself suffer through perceptible
lessening of food and sleep, and an increase in the labour of
standing and kneeling. Fulfil all that the Holy Church does, and you
will be a good fellow-traveller of the Lord to His sufferings.
On Holy and Great Monday
we commemorate the blessed Joseph the All-comely and also the
withered fig tree. In as much as the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ
has its beginning on this day, and as Joseph is regarded as an image
of Christ from former times, he is thus set forth here.
Joseph was the son of the
Patriarch Jacob, born to him by Rachel. Being envied by his brethren
on account of certain of his dreams, he was first concealed in a
dug-out pit, and his father was tricked by a bloody garment and the
deceit of his children into thinking that he had been devoured by
some beast. Joseph was then sold to some Ishmaelites for twenty
pieces of silver; they, in turn, sold him to Potiphar, captain of the
eunuchs of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. His wife was enraged by the young
man's chastity, because not wishing to commit sin, he fled from her,
leaving behind his garment. She slandered him to his master, and he
was put into bonds in a harsh prison. Afterwards, he was released
because of his ability to interpret certain dreams; he was brought
before the king and appointed governor of the whole land of Egypt.
Later, he was made known to his brethren through his distribution of
grain. Having spent the whole of his life well, he died in Egypt,
recognized as being great in his chastity and kindness toward others.
He is, moreover, a prefiguring of Christ. Christ was also envied by
His own people, the Jews: He was sold by a disciple for thirty pieces
of silver and was imprisoned in the dark and gloomy pit of the grave,
whence He broke out by His own power, triumphing over Egypt, that is,
over every sin. In His might He conquered it, and He reigns over all
the world. In His love for mankind He redeemed us by a distribution
of grain, inasmuch as He gave Himself up for us, and He feeds us with
Heavenly Bread, His own Life-bearing Flesh. For this reason, Joseph
the All- comely is brought to mind at this time. He is also
commemorated on the Sunday before the Nativity of Christ.
At the same time, we also
commemorate the withered fig tree, because the divine Evangelists
Matthew and Mark tell of it after their accounts of the palm
branches. One says, "Now the next day, when they had come out
from Bethany, He was hungry" (Mark 11:12); while the other says,
"Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry.
And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on
it but leaves, and said to it, 'Let no fruit grow on you ever again.'
Immediately the fig tree withered away" (Matt. 21:18-19). The
fig tree, then, is the Jewish synagogue, in which the Savior did not
find the necessary fruits of obedience to God and faith in Him, but
only the leafy shade of the Law; He took away even this, leaving it
completely bare. But if anyone should ask, "Why did an inanimate
tree wither and fall under a curse when it had committed no sin to
make it wither?" It was because some people, seeing that Christ
went about doing good to all, never causing real suffering for
anyone, imagined that He had only the power to do good and not to do
harm. The Master, who loves mankind, did not wish to demonstrate His
power on a man and commit such a deed. To convince an ungrateful
people, however, that He also possessed the might to impose
punishment, but not wishing to use that power in His goodness, He
inflicted such punishment upon inanimate and insensible nature.
There is also another
mysterious explanation, which has come down to us from the wise
elders. As St. Isidore of Pelusium says, "This was the tree of
the transgression of God's commandment, whose leaves, the
transgressors, also used to cover themselves. Because it did not
suffer at that time, Christ, in His love for man, cursed it, so that
it would no longer bear the fruit that was the occasion of sin."
It is also quite clear
that sin is likened unto the fig, inasmuch as it possesses the
"delight" of sensual pleasure, the "stickiness"
of sin itself and the "hardness and sharpness" of a guilty
conscience.
The Fathers, moreover, put
the story of the fig tree here to arouse compunction and in relation
to the story of St. Joseph, since he is a prefiguring of Christ.
The fig tree is also every
soul which is devoid of all spiritual fruit. In the morning, that is,
after this present life, if the Lord finds no refreshment in such a
soul, He withers it with a curse and hands it over to the everlasting
fire. It remains standing as a dried-up post, striking fear into
those who do not produce the fitting fruit of the virtues.
Through the prayers of St.
Joseph the All-comely, O Christ our God, have mercy on us and save
us. Amen.
