This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary Meditation.

This is Good Friday.

Jesus requested of St. Faustina that she begin a special novena to the divine mercy on this day,

concluding on the first Sunday after Easter. She writes,

Jesus is commanding me to make a novena before the feast of mercy, and today I am to

begin it for the conversion of the whole world and for the recognition of the divine mercy,

so that every soul will praise his goodness.

So today we will meditate on Good Friday and conclude with the first day of this divine

mercy novena.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

One of the most moving places for me in the Holy Land is the prison under the palace of the

high priest Caiaphas where Jesus was kept after his trial on Holy Thursday evening until early Friday, good Friday morning before they took him to Pilate.

And it is there that I reflect on this passage from the Catechism.

Paragraph 478, which says,

Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony, and his passion,

and gave himself up for each one of us.

The Son of God loved me and gave himself for me,

writes St. Paul.
