I adore you, my God, placed on the cross for me! 🙏
On Good Friday, the whole Church joins in mourning and penance to commemorate the Passion and Death of the Lord. oday's passage is from the Gospel of John 18:1-19:42.
Here are 4 ways to live Good Friday united with Jesus:
Celebration of the Lord's Passion:
On the afternoon of Good Friday, the moments Jesus spent in the hours leading up to his execution are commemorated through the reading of the Word, the Adoration of the Cross, and the Eucharistic Communion, consecrated the previous day, Holy Thursday.
Attend your parish and receive the Eucharist, which is only distributed in this liturgy. From today until the Easter Vigil, there are no sacraments, except for Confession and the Anointing of the Sick in case of necessity.
Participate in the Way of the Cross:
On this day, processions or similar public acts are held, generally presided over by the image of the suffering Christ and his Sorrowful Mother.
So meditate on the Passion and Death of the Lord and accompany the Lord in procession on his way to Calvary.
Seven Last Words' Sermon:
Listen to the "Seven Last Words Sermon" and reflect on the seven last phrases that Jesus uttered on the cross before giving his life for the salvation of humanity.
Fasting and abstinence:
Today the Catholic Church indicates practicing them to live in penance and prayer.
Remember that fasting is eating one main meal plus two small meals that together do not exceed the main meal in quantity; and abstinence means not eating meat and organs of mammals and poultry, nor soups and creams made from them.
