APRIL 1

Remembering Good Friday
PRAYER.

Dear Lord, we yearly recall the day You offered Yourself as a sacrifice for our sins. Help me keep in mind all You have done for me out of love.

WE are near that most sacred day when we commemorate Christ's Passion and Death. Let us clear our minds of things temporal, and occupy them with the contemplation of the Eternal Priest and His one ever-enduring Sacrifice-that Sacrifice which, though completed once for all on Calvary, yet ever abides.

Let us look upon Him Who was lifted up that He might draw us to Him.

-Incarnate son, a Sufferer
