Homily from Good Friday. A king without His armor. At the end of our lives, there are no defenses. At the end of Christ's life, He clings to no defenses. He has poured it all out, and all is taken from Him. All that is left is the Man Himself. At the end of our lives, we will only be left with our heart...everything else is taken.<dl style="margin : 0; padding-top:0;"><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Mass Readings from April 3, 2026:</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Isaiah 52:13—53:12</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Psalm 31:2, 6, 12-13, 15-16, 17, 25</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;">Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9</dt> John 18:1—19:42
