In this service we keep vigil during the time that Jesus suffered on the cross on this holy day (12-3). During the ‘preaching of the Passion’ we are supported and accompanied by reflections, silence and devotional singing.
In the Good Friday Liturgy we retrace the events of the Passion and crucifixion of Jesus, ask for forgiveness, may receive from the reserved Sacrament if that is in accordance with our devotional practice, and have an opportunity to venerate the Cross that is set up in the nave to focus our reflections.
