Today is Good Friday, the day on which the Church remembers the Passion and Death of the Lord.
Catholics are encouraged to take part in the Solemn Celebration of the Lord’s Passion, where we listen to the Passion, venerate the Cross, and receive Holy Communion.
Good Friday is a day of fast and abstinence. We abstain from meat, and those aged 18–59 who are in good health are obliged to fast, taking one main meal and two snacks.
As we stand at the foot of the Cross, may this sacred day draw us deeper into the mystery of Christ’s love, as we await the hope of the Resurrection.
