Good Friday is a day of solemn remembrance as we reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that died for us on the cross. It is a time to contemplate the immense suffering and agony Jesus endured for the sake of humanity’s redemption.
On Good Friday, we recall the events of Jesus’ crucifixion—the betrayal, the mocking, the agony of the cross. Yet, amidst the darkness and despair, we find hope in the promise of salvation through Christ’s sacrifice.
As we reflect and move through Good Friday, let us not shy away from the discomfort of the cross but embrace it as a symbol of God’s unfailing love for all of us, not just specific colors, nationalities etc..
May we be moved to repentance and renewal, turning away from sin and towards the light of Christ’s grace.
In the quiet moments of reflection, may we draw near to the foot of the cross and encounter the transformative power of Jesus’ sacrifice.
May we be filled with gratitude for the gift of salvation and inspired to live lives of devotion and service, bearing witness to the love of Christ in all that we do.
Heavenly Father, on this Good Friday, we lift up to you those who are sick, lonely, grieving, lost, found, and grateful. May your comforting presence surround them, bringing healing to the sick, companionship to the lonely, solace to the grieving, guidance to the lost, and continued blessings to the found and grateful. Grant them strength, peace, and renewed hope in your love. Amen.
