Good Friday – Homily (Msgr. LoPinto)

After this, aware everything was now finished in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said I thirst. There are many phrases that are contained in the different accounts of the passion,

but perhaps this one stands out because it really reflects what Jesus was intent upon.
