Good Friday Novena--Divine Mercy
Today begins the Divine Mercy Novena that Jesus gave to Saint Faustina. He requested that, beginning on Good Friday, we pray for the souls of specific groups each day for 9 days.
Day One
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.

Good Friday
It is Good Friday. The altar is bare. Jesus is gone. How many altars have we seen in our lives that are bare?
Have you ever been in a Catholic Church and been unable to find the tabernacle? Where is the burning candle that should be there? Our souls should cry out: “Where have they taken Him? Where have they taken my Lord?”
Is the altar of your soul bare? Where is Christ?
