If you are praying the Divine Mercy Novena please remember that it begins today (Good Friday). These nine days of prayer leading up to Divine Mercy Sunday can bring immense blessing to you as you focus on the abundant mercy of God.
Today we will hear the passion narrative according to St. John. Veneration of the cross is also a significant part of today's liturgy. The solemn intercessions provide an opportunity to pray for a wide range of people. I hope you are able to participate as we commemorate this day with fasting and abstinence.
