It is Good Friday. It is a 1st Friday.
It is the Feast of St. Richard of Chichester (+1253) which I cannot let go by without remembering a limerick my old pastor Msgr. Richard Schuler would occasionally quote:
There was an old Bishop of Chichester,
Who said thrice (the Latin for which is ‘ter’),
“Avaunt and defiance,
Foul spirit called Science,
And quit Mother Church, thou bewitchest her.”
BTW… St. Richard called for a Crusade against the Saracens. Bless him. Happy feast of St. Richard!
Some Good Friday shots. I’m still waiting for more pics.
The end of the Miserere and the “earthquake” at the end of Temebrae. Too dark for video.
Went to the 3 PM Good Friday service yesterday at my regular parish. It was packed. People behaved, prayed, and it lasted at least two hours. Young people showed up too. People dressed decently too (my opinion anyway). I stood in the back and noticed only a small number left early.
Kudos to employers who either let employees take the afternoon off or gave vacation time yesterday (that was my case).
