IS 53,4-5 Yet ours were the sufferings he was bearing, ours the sorrows he was carrying, while we thought of him as someone being punished and struck with affliction by God; whereas he was being wounded for our rebellions, crushed because of our guilt; the punishment reconciling us fell on him, and we have been healed by his bruises.
S. FAUSTI - The last day of Jesus is beginning. It is the sixth of the week, in which the Lord completes his work, to cease at the end from his effort It 's the day full of the Gospel, in which every hour is scanned. This begins with the first shadows of evening, it continues into the night, culminates in the dark afternoon and ends in the rest of tomb, while the Easter lights already glint. In the Transfiguration on Tabor the Father calls Jesus "Son"; in the disfigurement at the Mount of Olives the Son calls Him "Abba, Father."
There the humanity let the beauty of divinity shine; here the Divinity encases the horror of our inhumanity. Jesus faces the death in all its dramaticism ( tragicality), as well every one of us experiences it after the sin, end of life, the abandonment of every good and of God Himself. This is especially tragic for Him because He is "the Son." When He carries upon himself the sin of the brothers, that is the abandonment of the Father, He lives the anything about Himself.
It's the inconceivable and infinite evil. God truly loses himself for us. But in this way He reveals himself as Love! In the agony at Gethsemane we see that our evil touches the heart of God, making going out His essence. How big is the Father's love for us, if He has donated us his Son! From this damn in which He lives the anguish of annihilation without limits, Jesus gets back in the Father's arms. Now from the absolute destruction the voice of the Son rises to him. In this voice every Adam, who can not flee beyond, is invoking the Father and he returns home.
O happy night, in which God appears in all human nights - and the man knows many nights! If the night of creation God puts the world outside himself, in this night he puts himself almost beside himself, so that every corner of perdition is visited by salvation. About his invitation to the disciples to pray to not be tempted, Luke speaks three times of Jesus' prayer. There is five times the dominant theme: the pray, of which Jesus gives us the example, and that is the strength to live the death, even violent, as a sign of obedience to the Father of life.
The matter is the struggle to move from the "my” to the "Your" will. It’s the true healing from original evil of humanity, and it’s the Adam's return to his filial relationship with the Father. Jesus lives the fear of the sinner: surrending to God. The real fight is with Him, that in reason of the sin, we consider the enemy. For this our victory is the surrending to Him. The agony of Jesus in the garden, in front of which the disciples insist to close their eyes, remained etched in their memory as the great mystery of the revelation of the Son.
The Son is the one who accomplishes the Father's will. For that in the days of his life on earth , Jesus offered up prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who had the power to free him from death. He was fulfilled for his piety. He was not fulfilled in the sense that He was freed from death. He was fulfilled with the resurrection, after have accepted with filial obedience the death. Indeed, ”although he was Son", He learnt to obey through suffering; and having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him (Hb5,7)
