April 18, 12:00 pm & 7:00 pm
This uniquely powerful liturgy takes us to the foot of the cross with eloquent prayers, somber hymns, compelling rituals, and profound silences. In word, gesture, and symbol—from the Veneration of the Cross to Christ’s transformative sacrament of self-offering—we enact and embody the meaning of compassion (“suffer with”), not to glorify suffering, but to participate in the healing mystery of Love poured out for us on this “good” day—God’s Friday. Bring your worried, wounded, longing heart, and prepare to receive the immeasurable riches of the Holy One who knows us all by heart.
