It is very early Good Friday morning.
Marie just texted me: "Dr mwn pa kapab respire bien ni donmi" ("Doctor I cannot breathe well or sleep.")
Jesus actual cause of death as He hung on His cross was suffocation. Marie is having fluid from her heart backing up into her lungs, which floods her alveoli and impairs oxygen transfer. Marie is suffocating on her cross like our Lord did on His.
Jesus could text no one. Marie can.
Jesus had to die. Marie doesn't.
Our response hasn't changed much in two thousand years.
