Good Friday: Contemplating the Cross

My Friend the Friar

Send us a text

As we approach the solemnity of Good Friday, Father Stephen Sanchez joins us to navigate the depths of emotion and tradition that shroud this holy day. Together, we grapple with the weighty acknowledgment of our own roles in Christ's crucifixion, teetering between the heartache of remorse and the solace of gratitude for His sacrifice.
The quietude of Good Friday brings a stark reflection as we explore the symbolism behind an empty church and a stripped altar. These rituals echo Mary's profound sorrow, and through customs such as the Stations of the Cross, we find space for shared mourning and intimate contemplation. Good Friday is a poignant reminder that our personal trials often reflect Christ's sacrifice on the cross, offering both comfort and an opportunity for deeper connection.
Concluding our journey this episode, we ponder the vast expanse of God's love and its significance as we traverse from Good Friday through Easter. We invite you to join us and meditate on the goodness of the Father and let it permeate your Easter celebrations.
