*All in a Day’s Work*‘And he shall crucify’.O not to have been the soldierwho had to do it,who was glad to do it,to ‘another criminal, just a Jew’.What did his eyes say to the otheras he did it?And what did he see in the other’s eyes?Agony.Unbearable for any human.Did he understand any syllable of the‘Father, forgive’?I guess not.He wouldn’t have known the language,but should have felt the body language.All in a day’s work.As it was for Jesus.‘And he shall purify’.
Ten years or more of Higher Education, 7 years of Ordained Ministry in the Church of England... and now I'm managing to combine both, parish priest and university chaplain. It's a wonderful life. (Oh yes it is!)
