Good Friday

Now to the calendar’s zero, Good Friday.  The liturgical year grinds to a halt.  The church is stark; the altar is bare; the tabernacle is a shocking void.  

It is three o’clock.  Such intense emptiness: no distractions; no comfort; no Mass even.  Only the fact of the Cross.


Psalm 22, sung by the choir of Westminster Cathedral
