"There is something both awe-inspiring and ominous about the path Jesus Christ freely chose to free man from the destruction of sin and an unholy death. Jesus came to save the lost through a sacrificial death. This act of sacrificial love, I argue, should leave a person with a sense of awe and wonder why someone would choose to die for a humanity that at first would revere him, then in a short matter of time scream for his execution. Even more, why would a Father offer his son in death for the salvation of souls he created in his image and likeness?
"Man’s relationship with God, comprised of a body and soul, intellect and will, represents both a divine and physical reality. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Marlon De La Torre, Senior Director for the Department of Evangelization for the Catholic Diocese of Columbus, reflected on how the "Awe of Cavalry reminds us that we are not disregarded by God but are indeed loved by him infinitely"
