Was Jesus a wimp? 

Rex Hackett, Lismore priest, reflects on the sufferings of the crucifixion of Christ in a meditation time he experienced on a retreat. 

So, Father most holy, we celebrate the memory of Christ, your Son, whom you led through suffering and death on the Cross to the glory of the resurrection and a place at your right hand.Many years ago I was in the middle of an eight day directed retreat somewhere in Queensland and I was having a quiet time listening in the silence.
