Good Friday 耶稣受难

We attended the Good Friday service commemorating the death of Christ began at 3:00 pm. (the time Jesus likely died)

The Way of the Cross was held outdoor for the first time with people reenacting the suffering of Christ carrying his Cross under the hot afternoon sun.

10 minutes after we entered the church for other parts of the service (veneration of the Cross and Communion), heavy downpour followed. It was almost a yearly weather during Good Friday, hot sun，dark cloud, rain and sun again.

During the General Intercession prayer For all in public office, I offered the intention of the people of the Chapel of St. John in Triang:

Let us pray for those in public office,
that God may guide their minds and hearts,
so that all men may live in true peace and freedom

Almighty and eternal God,
you know the longings of men's hearts,
and you protect their rights,
In your goodness
watch over those in authority,
so that people everywhere may enjoy
religious freedom, security, and peace,
especially the parishioners of the Chapel of St. John.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.




我们参加了下午三点举行的耶稣受难苦路，以纪念耶稣为了人的罪，被钉死在十字架上。下午三点相信是耶稣的死亡时间。

今年的苦路是第一次在户外举行， 在热日当空下，以真人重演了耶稣当时受难，背负十字架受刑的情景。

过后，我们进入教堂进行其他阶段的礼仪（亲苦架及领圣体），不到十分钟，倾盆大雨到来。每年的耶稣受难日，天气度大约如此， 烈日 、黑云 、下雨 、烈日。

在隆重祈祷文的时候，当为政府官员祈祷时，我特别奉献了直凉圣若望小教堂教友的意向：

请为政府的一切官员祈祷，
求天主按照他的圣意
指引他们的思想和心神，
使他们能为人民谋求
真正的平安与自由。

全能永生的天主，
你知道人心的渴望，
也保护人民的权利；
你仁慈的眷顾所以身负公职的人民，
使世界各地，依赖你的助佑，
都能获享持久的平安，
幸福的生活，
以及信仰的自由，
特别是直凉圣若望教友们。
以上所求，
是靠我们的主基督。
阿门。
