"By His wounds, we are healed." – Isaiah 53:5

We pause on this Good Friday to reflect on the sorrow and sacrifice of the Cross. Today, we remember Christ’s suffering and death—a solemn moment that calls us to prayer, reverence, and gratitude.

We look forward with hope to the joy of the Resurrection. As we prepare our hearts for Easter, may your family be blessed with peace, renewal, and the promise of new life in Christ.

Wishing you a sacred Triduum and a joyful Easter.
