In difficult moments of profound and almost inexplicable suffering and pain, like the ones we have gone through in 2020 and then this year as well, we start looking for some sort of answer and explanation for what’s happening.

These are the moments when we ask, if there is a God how could He allow this to happen?

Those of us who are Christians wonder the same thing… God why is this happening? Where are you?

And today, when we remember Good Friday, the day of the crucifixion of Jesus at the hands of the Roman Empire, those questions become particularly poignant.

Because we believe that the Good Friday story has something to say to us… something to say to our suffering and our pain.
