"Good" Friday


I was raised Roman Catholic.  I would never expose a child to this traumatic ritual.  Trauma repeats trauma over many generations.  Healing rarely occurs.  I work daily on myself to heal all the trauma this place has inflicted on me.  They shroud their trauma in sheep's clothing of ethnic traditions, family traditions, and tribal identification.

The story they tell is of a god in the form of a righteous man.  This entity is then brutally tortured and killed.  

and they call it "Good Friday."

  1. Ironic, no? Gotta wonder who named it.

    1. Thanks for your comment. You got exactly where I was coming from. I think it is a form of breaking the mind by being forced to hold conflicting bits of data at the same time. I imagine it would be like having an abusive parent, while having to portend loving them. In the Catholic Stations of the Cross, the parishioners are to act out the roles of those urging on the crucifixion. How did I go through all of that, eating the body and blood of Christ, and come out even halfway balanced? I will continue to mine my past for all of these events and force them to heal. Thanks for your comment, best, db
