    When I was young I was taught by Nuns who I loved.I wanted to be one but all Catholic girls do.Our Church was about 20 steps away from school.I went into church 3 times a day I went to Benediction every Tuesday or Thursday I would have considered myself as a good Catholic.I found the Church a wonderful and peaceful place to be.Then we moved house and the church seemed a million miles away so I stopped going every day. I did go intermittently until I was in my teens and met my husband who is not a Catholic but a Protestant.
    I am 74 and my husband who is 75 remain married even though our families said it wouldn’t work at 16 and 17 !”
    Our children are Catholic and my Grandchildren are too..
    I have Terminal Cancer and I would like you all to remember me in your prayers.
    I believe God is watching over me I am staying positive.I’m sure God only gives us enough to carry.

    A friend finally asked me when looking at my crucifix, “Don’t you know Jesus came down off that cross?” I responded with, “yes, Catholics wear it as a reminder of the suffering He did for us.” She said, “I never thought of it like that.” It opened her mind. I’m so glad when people ask questions.

      It is so sad that protestants besmirch the Catholics who devoutly display the Corpus crucifix, and our religious statues as well. I am no longer a practicing Catholic because I will not embrace the post Vatican ll changes. Sadly, when I did find traditional Catholic churches that I could attend, only to discover that there was an almost bitter and jealous competition between them. The final blow was to discover that the lack of accountability led to other abuses of power. I am now a fallen away Catholic who truly believes that the Chair of Peter is vacant.
      My son is a Protestant and a pastor of a church. We do not debate the various differences, but I know he is adheres to a strict moral code and a deep love of our Lord. He is an amazing son, husband, father and pastor. The best we can do is to love the Lord with our whole hearts and to judge not lest we be judged.

    Jesus had been beaten prior to his being forced to carry his cross. He was beaten so severely that he could not carry the cross without assistance. His beating was far greater than most.

      I have a novena. It's a year long one. Our lord and saviour Jesus Christ give it to saint Brigid of Sweden. He's promised great graces with it. Those who recite it say 5480 prayers by the end of the year and that is a prayer for each blow he received! You truly pray for every blow during his sorrowful passion. However instead of just s year I'm considering it a lifelong novena.

    Act of Contrition In Front Of The Crucifix
    My Jesus, by the pain You did endure when Your Left hand was pierced with the nail, give me true sorrow for my sins.
    My Jesus, by the pain You did endure when Your right hand was pierced with the nail, give me perseverance in Your grace.
    My Jesus, by the pain You did endure when Your left foot was pierced with the nail, deliver me from the pains of hell. My Jesus, by the pain You did endure when
    Your right foot was pierced with the nail, give me the grace to love You eternally in heaven. My Jesus, by the wound that was made in Your Sacred Heart, give me the grace to love You always in this life and in the next. Have mercy on us, Jesus, our Love. Pray for us, Mary, our hope.

    In my humble opinion when you were asked why Pilate put that insignia above Jesus’s head on the cross (the king of the Jews) I feel differently than the answer you gave, when you said “Pilate put it there to mock Jesus” In my opinion, I believe that since Pilate was always at odds with the Sanhedrin, and just lost a public political battle with them, because they were screaming for the crucifixion of a man he felt was innocent by Rome’s judicial standards, and not only was he(Pilate) forced to comply because they threatened him by saying he was disobeying Caesar ( remember they hypocritically shouted we have no king but Caesar ) and on top of that made a fool of him when he kept the Roman tradition going of letting the people decide and they chose Barabas to give freedom to; he was quite annoyed.
    So here’s where he knew he could be spiteful to the people that made a mockery of his judgement. So he knew they’d be pissed if he hung the sign over Jesus calling him what they hated most and rejected Jesus of being...
    The King of The Jews.
    I think it was more about mocking them and hitting them where it hurt most.... right in their religion, and it was less about Jesus.
    Just my opinion of course, no disrespect to anyone more learned than me....✝️

      To say that Pilot initiated the death of Jesus is true; after being egged in by the Sanhedrin. You have your facts right, although the Jews have never wanted to admit that it was they had Jesus crucified. In fact, the average jew had no say so...it's always the honchos who make the big decisions, in this case the Sanhedrin who were actually the law of the land & were generally the most wealthy.

      Glad I read through the comments- as mine would have mirrored yours. I always thought Pilate gets somewhat of a bad rap- he was in a position of no win- his job was to keep order. He personally spoke to Jesus, had him scourged to appease the mob, offered Barabbas as a substitute, then washed his hands- all seem to me to be saying Jesus did nothing to deserve crucifixion. He also refused to change the sign to appease those who hated Jesus, which to me was flipping a finger to them. The REAL irony here if you listen to Dr. Brant Pitre's lecture on the hidden identity of Jesus and Joseph, in which he explains why the Gospel of Matthew starts out with genealogy, is that Joseph, and then Jesus were in direct lineage of King David. This would mean that in fact, Jesus truly was the king of the Jews, which would even magnify the slam on the Jewish leaders- more so than Pilate. Unknown to Pilate or the Jewish leaders- they forced him to have their own earthy king crucified! The richness of our catholic faith is sometimes almost overwhelming!

      @@fritula6200 These are GOOD questions to contemplate always. It would be a good exercise to discuss these with others without judgement or pride. I think that the answers to the specifics changes as we change. Here are some ideas. To be a follower of Christ is to have ACCEPTED what he has done for the removal of our sins. To take this gift of new life seriously, with deep gratitude in our hearts. Saying “Thank you Jesus!Thank you Jesus!” always, under our breath. Dedicate yourself and everything you are and do toJesus first thing in the morning, with a sign of the cross. Ask Jesus for his help in drawing closer to him. Know that all prayers that are asked according to his Will are answered. Seek to be changed. “Seek first the Kingdom of heaven, and all will be given.” Jesus takes us just as we are, sins included, but for own good, we need to remember that he came to take away the sins of the world which are blocks to our relationship with him. In the end, we cannot serve 2 masters. To be a follower of Christ means to strive to be like him. So we do as he did. We get away from the crowd regularly and talk to His and our God. We do this to get help, strength, direction, rest, and to feel His Love. I have to run now. Hope this helps. Thank you for the opportunity. I hope others answer too. There is much more . . . .but following happens in an instant. The Kingdom is close at hand!

The cross was a symbol of torture and death. But Jesus, by what he did on that cross, turned it into a symbol of self-sacrifice, salvation and glorification of God. Christians are identified with the Cross of Christ as a Jew is identified by the Star of David and the Muslims the Crescent and Star. Your "if" scenario is moot as Jesus died on a cross.

      Why are you mocking another denomination? 😒 There are 3 reasons that I am questioning my Catholic up bringing. I went to Catholic school from 1 - 12. I'm still a Catholic but with what the Church has become makes me upset. 1st - These Priests that raped our children just got moved to another Parish. Everything was hushed up. 2 - The Vatican knew all about this. These Priests should have been stripped of their Priesthood and put to jail. They are no better than any rapist that belongs in jail. The Vatican covered it up. This bothers me. Also, to me, the Catholic Church services are mundane, Week to week. Never really getting deep into Our Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ. Maybe your church is different. Don't get me wrong I have Jesus in my heart. My Father in my heart. The Holy Spirit and Our Mother in my heart. I pray daily, I say the Rosary daily. My Love for my Lord Jesus overwhelms me. I don't know maybe my Priests just don't how to be Priests. That's why I stopped going. I'm learning about Born again.

      Praying the rosary is sacrificial prayer. Saying the same words over and over seems boring. Why not say it once and done. That’s the sacrifice part. Will not God just need one time? Why don’t we ask Him?

    I always felt that the importance of the Corpus on the Cross was to remind us always of the sacrifice Christ made for our redemption and salvation, it wasn’t just the wood of the cross or the Resurrection as our Protestant brothers and sisters see it. To be constantly reminded of what our Blessed Lord, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity ,went through in His human and Divine Natures should never leave us complacent and to me, that can happen when the Corpus isn’t present on the Cross. Just my opinion.

      When Protestants ask you that question about why we still have Jesus on the cross, there's a good reply to give to them.

      Yes Diane, seeing Jesus on the cross reminds us to take up our crosses. I am less likely to complain about insignificant life circumstances when I see his example and love. Complete surrender is manifested in Jesus.
