Good Friday
April 3, 2026

All life is about journey and passage.

At some time in each of our lives, we yearn to pass:

• from emptiness to abundance
• from loneliness to love
• from exhaustion to renewal
• from anxiety to peace
• from burden to freedom
• from confusion to understanding
• from bitterness to forgiveness
• from pain to healing
• from mourning to remembrance

The sacred mystery of Good Friday assures us that God accompanies us in our torturous journeys. But we must name whatever darkness surrounds us, and reach through it to the hand of God outstretched from the Cross. Like a parent leading a child in from the storm, the God of Resurrection longs to bring our hearts home with Him to Easter joy.
