POPE FRANCIS’ GOSPEL REFLECTION FOR GOOD FRIDAY.

POPE FRANCIS’ GOSPEL REFLECTION FOR GOOD FRIDAY.

Holy Mother of God, as you stood beneath the cross, Jesus, seeing the disciple at your side, said: “Behold your son”. In this way he entrusted each of us to you. To the disciple, and to each of us, he said: “Behold, your Mother”. Mother Mary, we now desire to welcome you into our lives and our history. At this hour, a weary and distraught humanity stands with you beneath the cross. To you we consecrate the future of the whole human family, the needs and expectations of every people, the anxieties and hopes of the world. Through your intercession, may God’s mercy be poured out on the earth and the gentle rhythm of peace return to mark our days. Our Lady of the “Fiat”, on whom the Holy Spirit descended, restore among us the harmony that comes from God. May you, our “living fountain of hope”, water the dryness of our hearts. In your womb Jesus took flesh; help us to foster the growth of communion. You once trod the streets of our world; lead us now on the paths of peace. (Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, 25 March 2022)
