GOOD FRIDAY – CELEBRATION OF THE LORD’S PASSION

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By
Procession Cross
of Holy Cross Church

We are here to remember and to participate in the passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He stands before us as the Man of Sorrows, insulted, tortured, crushed, finally dying on a cross.

Yet, at the foot of the cross we are not lamenting a legend man whose life was a failure, for to us the Holy cross is the sign of victory over sin and death.

We believe that he is God’s own Son risen from the dead and alive in our midst.

This is not merely a story about the past, for the passion and death of Jesus is still going on in the people and the nations that suffer, in the poor, the hungry, in the victims of war, corona virus and in all those crucified in any way. We are not mentally ill but we believe that Jesus Christ rises today in Christians who struggle against sin and evil, in those who bring hope and joy to others. This is how we are one with our Lord today

“And bowing his head, Jesus handed over the spirit.”

Announcements

  • We are in the Holy Week. In that time we are in the sumit of the whole year Liturgy. We go through the Paschal Mystery from the dead on the Cross on the Friday 3 o’clock  to the Life on Easter Sunday morning. By the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ we get in our own resurrection.
  • The Stations of the Cross – the devotion which is a very good reminder of the last moments of Jesus Christ on earth. Please take the efforts to contemplate each week by yourselves in private. We will have it in Church on Good Friday 6:30PM.
  • As the members of our Church we are responsible for our future and we will pray and look for new active members of our Community of Holy Cross in Baltimore, MD.

  • Thank you to all donors and sponsors for support of our Church. – God bless you.
  • If you were God, and you had some glorious task you wanted accomplished, who would you choose?  Someone with manifest gifts?  Or someone who is weak, humble and appears to have very few natural gifts?  Surprisingly, God most often chooses the weak for the greatest tasks.  This is one way through which He is able to manifest His almighty power (See Diary #464).
