Holy Week Devotional - Holy Friday
Holy Friday is also called "Good Friday," but why Good? The events of Holy Friday seem to be anything but good. Today's reflection looks at a bit of the history behind this name, potential other names, then turns to the full text of Holy Friday in the Gospel according to Mark. In this reflection you are invited to be the interpreter, the one offering your own interpretation and reflection.
Phil makes an invitation to email him if you wish to discuss your reflection of the text, have questions about Mark's theological telling of the events of Holy Friday, or if you need space to process all this. Again, you can email Phil at [email protected].
He also refers to a book he has been using to guide his reflections. That book is called "The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem" by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan. You can find the book here, or wherever books are sold.
Blessings to you all on this Holy Friday.
