Daily Scripture Reflection & Prayer: April 18, 2025

Good Friday

Meditation on the Crucifix: Today, instead of a reading from scripture, as we remember Jesus’ crucifixion and death upon the cross, let us use our time to contemplate Jesus’ pain and suffering by sitting before a crucifix, opening ourselves to reflection and prayer.

Meditating on the text with personal questions:

Let us allow ourselves to contemplate Jesus’ suffering on the cross for us. Let us reflect upon our own lives, our own sins and our own struggles that necessitated Christ’s sufferings. Let us open ourselves to Jesus’ love.

Praying: Speak what is on our mind and in our hearts as we contemplate Christ’s sacrifice for us.
