Good Friday’s story

Good Friday

Updated May 3, 2023

Why he is now good and why we should be as well.

Whilst it took little imagination to name the sweet brown calf with the doe-like eyes and broken hind leg who landed into our hearts on Good Friday, we could only imagine his pain and bewilderment at his circumstance.

His nasty break, we learned, occurred in the first few days of his life. And then, at just six days old, it was something that had clearly beleaguered him. Dragging behind the wee chap was his awkwardly cast leg, and too he was sodden wet and weak.

It is in his innocence and vulnerability that he taps into our empathy and concern for others

With round-the-clock tube-feeding thus necessitated, and resplinting of his leg along with x-rays in order to ensure a true alignment was in place, we feel Good Friday, is, just like that leg, now set for a good outcome indeed.

Good Friday is undeniably a dear little calf, with a soft heart-tapping “moo”. He too is one who is now eager both for his bottle and our kindness, although not necessarily in that order. And it is in his innocence and vulnerability that he taps into our empathy and concern for others, which see us appreciate their feelings as we take, as best we can, positive action to improve their world.

It is said the powerless are precious and indeed they truly are, for when we allow them to become our teachers, they help us become our better selves.

All of which makes us all more connected, and more kind.

Which has to be a good thing, wouldn’t you agree?
