Good Friday

At 12 noon today we were invited to the 'Stations of the Cross', presented by the young people of the Parish.  It was a wonderful production and one could see a lot of work was put into it.
Each Station was dramatised by these young people with great sincerity and dedication.
What made a great impression on me was the Station of the Cross when Christ met his loving Mother.
The young actor paused, looked at his 'mother' and placed his hand on her shoulder.  It was very moving. Also, the tiny young girl who represented Veronica as she offered up the veil and wiped the face of 'Jesus'.
I must congratulate Fr. Donal for his part in this moving production and all the young people and singers and of course the core of the family group who help to make this happen.
Often Good Friday can be a sad day of penance, but not today, God bless them all!
