Why is it good friday when God vanishes?
Via Crucis Stations of the cross blog
Here is a wonderful quote from maggi dawn’s post when God vanishes in response to her son’s comment about Good Friday.
"Why is it called Good Friday?" asked my son. "It’s not good at all, it’s really bad."
hope doesn’t forestall the depth of blackness that can descend even upon people of faith. And the recollection that the Easter faith was born in the darkness is, perhaps, a reason to hold on and not to give up.

That is the powerful truth of Good Friday. Hope in the midst of darkness, in the throes of death, suffering and agony one of those hanging on the cross next Jesus found it. Jesus said today you will be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43Luke 23:43
English: Contemporary English Version (1999) - CEV
43 Jesus replied, “I promise that today you will be with me in paradise.” n paradise: In the Greek translation of the Old Testament, this word is used for the Garden of Eden. In New Testament times it was sometimes used for the place where God's people are happy and at rest, as they wait for the final judgment.
I can find it, We can find it. Today is a good day
