Christ, the Son of God, redeemed us with His Blood. Come let us adore Him (Invitatory Antiphon for Good Friday, Divine Office).

The Sacred Liturgy of the Catholic Church today is particularly solemn and takes us into the saving events of Christ's Passion and Death on Good Friday. This is also a day of Fasting and Abstinence.

By God's grace, working through His Church, we are given a particularly important opportunity today to enter into the mystery of God's unfathomable love for each and all of us.

Let us respond to His love by consoling Our Lord Jesus Christ in His Passion, turning our backs on sin, repenting and making a good confession and making acts of charity to others for love of Him.

(Please also remember that St. Faustina was asked by Jesus to prepare for the Feast of Divine Mercy with a Novena to the Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday. We invite you to prepare for this great feast, occuring on 27th April, with the daily recitation of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy - starting today).

A Blessed Good Friday to you all.
