A Moment To Pause: Good Friday, 3rd April 2026

Welcome to a Moment to Pause with Br Michael Moore OMI as we journey through Holy Week. Good morning and welcome to our morning prayer this Good Friday. When our Lenten journey began Jesus asks us to take up our cross and follow him. And this is where our Lenten journey brings us today. This is where we are called to stand with the faithful women who stayed with Jesus until the end. But today is not the end. But this is where we are asked to be today with Jesus, each other and all those who are suffering unjustly today in our world. We stand at the cross as we wait in joyful hope of the resurrection. It's Friday, but Sunday is coming. We pray for our own intentions in silence. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Lord, give us the strength to stand at your cross today. For through your wounds we are healed. Thank you for praying for us this morning. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
