Here’s some suggestions on entering into Good Friday:

1. Watch and pray with the live stream of our Good Friday liturgy.

2. Meditate on the Way of the Cross.

3. Watch a few scenes from The Passion of the Christ, available on various streaming services.

4. Fast.

You may have noticed that in several of our recent Youtube videos, there was an image of Christ with a crown of thorns in the background. That was intentional. Corona means crown. The crown of Jesus’ glory is preceded by the crown of humiliation and suffering. At our Good Friday liturgy you will hear a beautiful reflection on this mystery told from the perspective of the rose bush used for the crowning, a song by Danielle Rose called the Crown of Thorns, which you can listen to here.
