Friday gives the Church an opportunity to remember the sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus gave all in a supreme act of love, and it can be easy to lose the sense of awe, gratitude and sorrow that the death of Jesus should evoke in us.

Today we had the chance to be led through an exhibit on the famous Shroud of Turin. A consecrated woman gave us a powerful presentation of this extraordinary burial cloth. She encouraged us to remember that Jesus took on the darkest of suffering during our most difficult moments as priests.
In the afternoon, we joined the Franciscans, and many other lay faithful, for their weekly stations of the Cross that follows the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem. The stations ended outside the empty tomb in the Holy Sepulchre as we celebrated Jesus' victory over death and sin.
