Good Friday brings mixed emotions. Putting ourselves in the place of the disciples and other followers, we’ve been high with Palm Sunday events, had a nice dinner with friends and then WHAM…the next hours turn tragic. Watching Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion of the Christ brings home some very human moments of this time period.
Around mid-day you may want to use this Good Friday prayer by Larry Peacock in Alive Now or LP Jones’ Holy Week Prayer. Both provide nice perspective on this time period.
May this “good day” bring you time for quiet contemplation…
