Good Friday 2022
There is one thing that we know and can be certain about and that is that God became a Man and died on this day. From all eternity this was in the Divine Mind and the ultimate purpose for all creation. The Sacred Liturgy, in the absence of the Holy Mass today, re-presents the events on Calvary for us to share. We are imitating the early Christians by using the same liturgical rites as they did. When Our Lord died on the cross He made a special effort to direct and to entrust us to His own Mother. We honor and love her as the Co-Redemptrix and Mother of Sorrows because her Divine Son instructed us to do this. We must appreciate what our sins have done to Son and Mother and detest them by an immolation of our selfishness with Christ on the cross.
