Good Friday of the Lord's Passion
Today's Readings
Today's Reflection
Today we face that point in the story that brings tears. The unimaginable tragedy of a horrific torture and death on a cross. The loss of our God and King at the hands of the very people he came to save. It seems like all hope is lost, that all that Christ came to do was for nothing. Yet we have not finished the Triduum journey...perhaps the immense sorrow will turn to joy...Today you are invited to join us at St. Francis for the Living Way of the Cross presentation at noon, Liturgy of our Lord's Passion 1:30 p.m., Evening Prayer 6:30
It is a day I associate with silence. What else can be said or done on a day when the greatest sacrifice, the greatest act of love was done? I always try to carve out a bit of time, a bit of silence.
Today is a day of fasting, abstinence from meat. Today is a day to spend more time in prayer and reflection. If you have not done so, see if there are some creature comforts, entertainments, or other conveniences you could forgo for the day. Take that time you would otherwise spend watching TV or reading the latest best seller to join in prayer, to reflect on the sacrifice made for you.
