Holy Week: Good Friday

Prayer to Mary of the Pieta

Dearest Mother Mary, 

who received into 

your arms the lifeless body of 

Jesus, 

embrace your other children 

who will die this day.

Obtain for them 

true repentance and pardon 

for all their sins, 

that not a drop 

of your Son’s Precious 

Blood, 

will have been shed 

in vain.

In case you have wondered 

why this Friday is called Good Friday

and never dared to ask that question,

this site gives an excellent

and nonjudgmental explanation.
