Come, let us journey with our Lord to the cross.  May these Good Friday service highlights prepare us in mind and spirit for what is ahead.  The service includes "The Reproaches"  a series of antiphons and responses used in many Good Friday services around the world. The text contrasts  God’s goodness to us with humanity’s enactment of evil against God’s Son.  They are based on Micah 6:3: "O my people, what have I done to you? In what have I wearied you? Answer me!"The response to each antiphon is: "Holy God, holy and mighty, Holy and Immortal One, have mercy upon us."Permission to podcast “O Man of Sorrow” by Jan Carneghi in this service obtained from CCLI License #A-20215896.  All rights reserved.
