[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Look at the open arms of Christ crucified, and let Him save you. Contemplate His blood shed out of love and let yourself be purified by it. In this way you can be reborn. #GoodFriday

[Aid to the Church in Need UK @acn_uk]

Today let us meditate on the suffering of Jesus, His death on the cross and what it means for us. #GoodFriday "Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing" Luke 23:34
