For the Western church, today is Good Friday, the day we solemnly reflect upon Christ’s passion and death. At times, we can be quick to jump to the resurrection before really slowing down to contemplate the suffering of Christ and the silence and seeming hopelessness of Holy Saturday. To accompany you in reflecting on Christ’s passion and joyous resurrection, we want to offer a few resources: a spoken word by Dallas Willard on the goodness of good Friday, a visio divina on the crucifixion by Tara Owen, and an essay on Eastertide by Jamie Cain.
