Good Friday is a day of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. To learn more about what this means, click here.
“Holy Thursday ends silently, and Good Friday begins in that same silence. Continuing the Triduum, we remember the day Jesus was crucified and died. This is a solemn day, marked by simplicity.
During the service, we venerate the cross. Each person is given a few moments to touch, kiss, or simply kneel before it. This is a profound moment of reverence; it reminds us that Jesus’ sacrifice was personal. He didn’t just die for the world. He died for you.
Together, the community prays special prayers of intercession. Every Catholic church prays these prayers today and the intentions include the unity of Christians, prayers for the Jewish people, for those in public office, those undergoing suffering, and for those who do not believe in God. We are a universal church; together, we bring our prayers to the foot of the cross.”
