Good Friday

---

On this day we call Good Friday, we have a chance to see what the words of Simeon to Our Blessed Mother mean when he said that Jesus "would be a sign of contradiction."  No greater example can we have as we gaze upon God, in His human nature, Who came among us to teach us how to live, and, how to love, but, instead was bruised, beaten, and crucified on the Cross.  And, through all of that He is still here for us, to love and forgive us.  Perhaps in this time of uncertainty, we can use it as a time of quiet contemplation of God with us. When I was growing up, my friends and I would be reminded by our parents to remain quiet during the hours of Noon to 3 PM. The hours Our Lord hung upon the Cross.

PLEASE JOIN WITH US AT 3:00 PM FOR THE LITURGY OF OUR LORD'S PASSION. WE WILL BE LIVE STREAMING ON FACEBOOK, AND THEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON YOU TUBE.

Please have a Crucifix with you as you watch, so, that you can participate with us for the Veneration of the Cross.I am attaching a picture that my uncle, Fr. Eugene DelConte, an Augustinian priest, drew when he was 83 years old.  He passed away in 2016 at the age of 90.

God bless you, Fr. Robert
