Holy Saturday: Gratitude for Jesus' Heroism

Thank you Jeus and Mary, for all that you suffered for us.

Thank You, Jesus, for Your unsurpassing love!
Thank You for Your infinite mercy!
Thank You for taking our sinfulness upon Yourself and reconciling us to our Creator, Father God!
Thank You for Your "yes" to be our Redeemer!
Thank You for being a sin offering to God, our Creator, Father.
Thank You for being the Unblemished Lam of God, who spared us from eternal damnation, from life without God.
Thank You for being Unsurpassing Goodness, taking on evil and destroying its lasting effects.
Thank You for being scourged in our place and thus redeeming those beating others physically, verbally, emotionally and those who are victims of such abuse.
Thank you for being mocked for our sake to redeem those mocking us, us who mock others, and those being victims of bullying.
Thank you for being nailed to the cross and thus redeeming us nailed to addictions, abusive, painful attitudes and behaviors by which we crucify others and ourselves.
Thank you for submitting to violence in order to redeem us from our violence toward each other.

What are your "thank yous"?

    Thank you for Loving me even though I wasn't very lovable
    Jesus Christ, Thank you for dying for me so I could have a clean slate and have a chance to live eternally with you in Heaven.
