ZENIT - Pope: Christ's Agony Moves the Hardest Hearts

ZENIT - Pope: Christ's Agony Moves the Hardest Hearts: "ROME, APRIL 10, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Even the hardest of hearts are moved to pity upon witnessing Christ's suffering during his passion and death, as it reveals the fullness of God's love for mankind, says Benedict XVI.

The Pope said this tonight at the end of the Way of the Cross at Rome's Colosseum. Speaking from atop the Palatine hill, he reflected on the words of the centurion whom St. Mark quotes at the end of his Passion narrative: 'The centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, and said: ‘Truly this man was the Son of God!’'"
