The passion story shows us Jesus as God. Jesus is God, that is why he shows us the glorious Christ and the victorious King.

The Hour of the Cross is the Hour to enter into communion with God, to enter into communion with the one, holy and universal Church, from which the baptismal water and the outpouring of the Spirit flow. In a sober, silent atmosphere, the prayer of the faithful and the Our Father are made solemnly.
The Cross is not a sign of defeat, but of Victory and revelation of the divinity of Jesus.
During the day, the steps of Jesus towards Calvary or way of the cross are meditated, always looking at Easter.
Look at the tree of the cross, on which the Salvation of the world is hung!
With the Cross not everything ends. The cross is not the end, but the beginning.
