Luke 23:45

"It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour."

Key Reflection

This passage describes a profound divine intervention, where a solar eclipse or supernatural darkness lasting three hours signifies the spiritual weight of Christ's suffering and the judgment upon humanity. It foreshadows both the justice of God and the coming age of spiritual enlightenment following Christ’s sacrifice.
