In his Good Friday homily, Bishop Murphy describes how Jesus’ death leads to the creation of new life. He shared the following thought, “At the moment of death in the Passion narrative of St. John, Jesus gives birth to the church. Jesus gives up His spirit so that the Holy Spirit will be unleashed on the world. Blood and water flow from the side of Jesus to touch a world anxious for life. The whole story of the Passion and Death of Jesus is paradoxically a story of death bringing life to the community.”
