Thank you for this. I hunger for an intelligent Good Friday homily from Father Rutler that had been an annual event for me for almost thirty years. Unlike the sentimental homilies I’ve sadly viewed elsewhere, it is always an ironic good to be reminded of the reality of sin, on Good Friday especially, a concept that has been bereft in our crumbling ecclesial culture, which is crumbling for this very reason, for our failures to recognize our need to repent.
