Good Friday is a very special day for all Catholics. As part of the High Holy Days of the Church\u2019s Holy Week Triduum, we reflect on the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus which is reflected by the red vestments worn by the celebrants. We are touched in mind and heart with God\u2019s infinite love for us. To think that Jesus died on a cross \u2013 we are overpowered by God\u2019s compassion and mercy. God could have saved us with a single word and yet he wanted us to know the depth of His love.<\/p>\n
On this day, Jesus shows his great love for us by freely accepting the indignities of scourging and crucifixion. He accepted the destiny of dying for each one of us.<\/p>\n
The Good Friday liturgy is made up of three main parts. The first part includes the Solemn Intercessions where we pray for all those entering the Church at the Easter Vigil, our Protestant and Jewish\u00a0 brothers and sisters, and even those who don\u2019t believe in God. The faithful\u00a0 then\u00a0 receive Holy Communion (consecrated on Holy Thursday since there is no mass on Good Friday) which is then followed by Adoration of the Cross. A collection is taken during the service for the Christians in the Holy Land.<\/span><\/p>\n The Good Friday liturgy is an excellent opportunity for Knights to lead their families in recognizing God\u2019s great love for us. Councils should encourage their members to attend the liturgy as a family instead of as individuals. Knights should accompany their families to the altar both for Adoration of the Cross and for Holy Communion. The Good Friday Collection for the Holy Land\u00a0 is\u00a0 crucial\u00a0 for\u00a0 helping\u00a0 the Christians living\u00a0 there survive. As\u00a0 you\u00a0 know the Christians are a minority in the Holy Land often undergoing persecutions. In spite of this, their communities survive but your help is crucial to their survival. Knights should give generously to this collection and explain its significance to their families.<\/p>\n William J.
