GOOD FRIDAY
Is 52: 31-53: 12
Ps 31: 2-25
Heb 4: 14-16; 5: 7-9
Jn 18: 1- 19: 42


Jesus Christ sees Mary at the foot of the cross, sharing His sorrows. Women in Christianity have in their makeup an inexhaustible power and can support unheard of things without breaking down.(CISP 1262/1263)

From Father Tom:  We usually attribute this power to the capacity for motherhood which all women have even though they may not exercise it. What did our mothers do for us? In our early stage, everything. And we will always need some sort of "mothering"--especially when the cross presses heavier.

Please Pray for Our Deceased:  Sr. Giuseppina Favato PD (1933)--Sr. M. Annanziata Micca PD (1977)--Medina twins (1951)--Peter Candela Jr. (1954)
