- In this sermon, St Leo explores the Passion of Our Lord and its meaning in the Christian Life.
- Christ's Arrest Fulfils His Own Eternal Purpose.
- Having discoursed, dearly beloved, in our last sermon, on the events which preceded the Lord's arrest, it now remains, by the help of God's grace, to discuss, as we promised, the details of the Passion itself. ...
- And in Christ's condemnation, whatsoever wrong was done either by Pilate's judgment or by the cohorts carrying out of his commands, makes you only the more deserving of the hatred of mankind, because the impulse of your fury would not let even those be free from guilt who were displeased at your unrighteous acts.
- Christ Bearing His Own Cross is an Eternal Lesson to the Church.
- But as the multitudes went with Jesus to the place of punishment, a certain Simon of Cyrene was found on whom to lay the wood of the cross instead of the Lord; that even by this act might be pre-signified the Gentiles' faith, to whom the cross of Christ was to be not shame but glory. It was not accidental, therefore, but symbolical and mystical, that while the Jews were raging against Christ, a foreigner was found to share His sufferings, as the Apostle says, "if we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him"; so that no Hebrew nor Israelite, but a stranger, was substituted for the Saviour in His most holy degradation. For by this transference the propitiation of the spotless Lamb and the fulfilment of all mysteries passed from the circumcision to the uncircumcision, from the sons according to the flesh to the sons according to the spirit: since as the Apostle says, "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us," Who offering Himself to the Father a new and true sacrifice of reconciliation, was crucified not in the temple, whose worship was now at an end, and not within the confines of the city which for its sin was doomed to be destroyed, but outside, "without the camp," that, on the cessation of the old symbolic victims, a new Victim might be placed on a new altar, and the cross of Christ might be the altar not of the temple but of the world.
- Accordingly, dearly-beloved, Christ being lifted up upon the cross, let the eyes of your mind not dwell only on that sight which those wicked sinners saw, to whom it was said by the mouth of Moses, "And thy life shall be hanging before thine eyes, and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt not be assured of thy life. ... But let our understandings, illumined by the Spirit of Truth, foster with pure and free heart the glory of the cross which irradiates heaven and earth, and see with the inner sight what the Lord meant when He spoke of His coming Passion: "The hour is come that the Son of man may be glorified"; and below He says, "Now is My spirit troubled. ...
- O wondrous power of the Cross! O in effable glory of the Passion, in which is contained the Lord's tribunal, the world's judgment, and the power of the Crucified! For thou didst draw all things unto Thee, Lord and when Thou hadst stretched out Thy hands all the day, long to an unbelieving people that gainsaid Thee, the whole world at last was brought to confess Thy majesty. ...
- We Must Live Not for Ourselves But for Christ, Who Died for Us.
- Let us, then, dearly-beloved, confess what the blessed teacher of the nations, the Apostle Paul, confessed, saying, "Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. " For God's mercy towards us is the more wonderful that Christ died not for the righteous nor for the holy, but for the unrighteous and wicked; and though the nature of the Godhead could not sustain the sting of death, yet at His birth He took from us that which He might offer for us. ... "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. ... Let us run, then, with the steps of faith, by the works of mercy, in the love of righteousness, that keeping the day of our redemption spiritually, "not in the old leaven of malice and wickedness, but in the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth," we may deserve to be partakers of Christ's resurrection, Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth for ever and ever. ...

- www.inq7.net
- The true passion of Christ.
- PRIESTS, nuns and charismatics reportedly come out of the screening of the movie "Passion" crying, shocked, stunned. For them it is a realistic portrayal of the passion of Christ and (in their eyes) for the first time in cinematic history shows what Christ may have really gone through in His passion and death. ...
- Because then that would only show that we do not truly comprehend what Christ's passion was.
- The movie succeeded on a few accounts, none of which were meant to truly portray the "passion" of Christ. ... Mel Gibson, someone with a poor understanding of the "passion" of Christ, the movie did show the physical torture of Christ, for that is all what the movie is about. ...
- And that should have been the paradox emphasized in the film: that Christ was not, in fact, given or subjected to "special" torture or punishment but that He was treated simply as any human of the time. ...
- That was and is the true passion of Christ: that He came into the world as a simple and lowly man and left as a simple and lowly man. The life and death of Christ on Earth was not remarkable because there was anything special about it. ...
- To show the physical punishment and torture and call that the passion of Christ is to trivialize what He did for us into that small and, ultimately, inconsequential part of His life here on Earth. If Christ had died a "natural" death or died out of sickness and then resurrected afterwards, would that have changed the deep meaning, significance and relevance of Christ's passion, death and resurrection? No. The true meaning of the passion of Christ is His life on Earth as a man -- that our Savior gave up His godliness and lived with us as a mere mortal. The form or manner of death is not the passion. ...
- But remember that in Christ's time, that was the norm. I'm saying that the movie vastly fell short of the meaning, significance and relevance of Christ's passion and death. ...
- Aside from the fact that there were many inaccuracies in the film, as expected from a man of shallow faith and understanding as Gibson, I believe the film would have succeeded more technically if he had developed more the experiences and personal relationships Christ had as a man with His Mother and disciples (who, by the way, also seemed one-dimensional, and the acting flat), thereby establishing Christ as the Christ or Messiah, before plunging the character into the pitiful state of being human. That would have shown the passion more "faithfully," literally and figuratively. ...
