| Dear Friend,
Good Friday is the most somber day in the Church, as Christians observe the Crucifixion of Jesus and his death on Calvary. Today, Catholics fast in mourning to accompany our Lord in his suffering on the cross. On this solemn Friday, tradition calls for a day of prayer and reflection.
Today is the only day of the year when the Church does not celebrate Mass and tabernacles are empty of the Eucharist throughout the world. The faithful adore and contemplate the cross, and many pray the Stations of the Cross. We invite you to learn more about following in the footsteps of Jesus on his way to Calvary.
