DAILY CONTEMPLATION

August 7, 2026 ~ Mesore 1, 1742

Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said,
“He saved others; Himself He cannot save.
If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross,
and we will believe Him.” (Mt 27:41-42)
What great thing was it for Him to come down from the Cross,
who could afterward rise again from the tomb?
But He seems to have yielded to His insulters;
and this, beloved, that having risen again He should show Himself to His own, and not to them,
and this is a great mystery;
for His resurrection signified the New Life,
but the New Life is known to His friends, not to His enemies
St. Augustine
