Good Friday

Good Friday is a solemn day of remembrance of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, because both the sins of the world and our personal sin caused the punishment, death and suffering of our Lord. 

Yet, although Good Friday is a somber commemoration, it is not without its own joy, for while we want to contrast the joy of Resurrection to the solemn sadness of Good Friday, the gravity of Good Friday is a prophecy of the hope of Resurrection Sunday.

We always observe Good Friday, well knowing that Resurrection Sunday is coming soon!
Traditionally we remember the words of Jesus on the cross on Good Friday...

May our Lord richly bless us as we remember, as we believe and as we commit anew to serve him, when we see, hear and experience God’s divine love this holy week.
Let’s keep watch with Jesus....
