Dear friends, Here is my homily for Good Friday. On August 12, - TopicsExpress

Dear friends, Here is my homily for Good Friday. On August 12, 1998 the Dive Team of the Waterloo Regional Police received an emergency call about an accident at Parkhill Dam in Cambridge. Three boys were crossing the dam when they fell in. Two managed to swim their way to shore, but the third – Mark Gage – was not to be found, his body presumably swept into one of the chambers under the dam. Constable David Nicholson and his Team mates made successive dives without any success. As the afternoon advanced, and seeing the anguish of Mr. and Mrs. Gage, he – the father of three young boys – asked to make one more dive before calling it a day. Much to the dismay and horror of everyone on the shores of the Grand River Constable Nicholson was soon nowhere to be found. The next day his Team mates began the sad job of recovering the bodies of Mark Gage and Constable David Nicholson. As they had imagined, they found their bodies in one of the chambers under the Parkhill Dam, together, with Constable Nicholson’s arms wrapped around Mark Gage. For me that image of Constable Nicholson’s arms wrapped around the lifeless body of that boy are just as moving as the arms of Jesus outstretched on the cross – both of them seeking to rescue. In the dramatic reading of the Passion from the gospel of St. John (18:1-19:42) we discover the price that Jesus paid – in his suffering, crucifixion and death – in order to save us, to rescue us from eternal death. He came to rescue those drowning in hopelessness, to give us hope. He came to rescue the frightened and doubtful, to give us courage. He came to rescue the confused, to give us the truth. He came to rescue the unforgiven and troubled, to give us peace and reconciliation. He came to rescue those lost to sin, to give us salvation. He came to rescue us – out of love – to bring us the fullness of life here and now, and eternal life to come, This is what we celebrate today – our salvation in Jesus Christ the Lord. He died on the cross for our sins, so that we might not be recovered, but rescued, from sin and death.
