Just came back from the Good Friday service at my local parish . I have never really paid attention to the Good Friday service before ( I’m 16 now) cause I always felt like it was too long and I didn’t really understand its worth and true meaning.
However today for the first time ever I actually enjoyed, participated and understood every part of the service. I finally understood how Jesus was betrayed and was crucified for our sake so that he could redeem us. I also understood that Jesus loved us loads that he willingly gave his life for us.
Today’s sermon was also very touching . The priest talked about how Jesus died for our sins and also touched upon the topic of abortion. How were we supposed to love God and do his will if we couldn’t raise a child and instead opt to kill them while in the womb?! I know that abortion is legal in many places and I’m totally against it and I hope I’m not the only one who thinks like this .
The priest also talked about how we should respect our parents and understand about the various sacrifices that they have done so that we could have a good life!! And how do we repay them? By putting them in an old age home?? I know I shouldn’t really be commenting on this cause I’m only 16 but I would never ever imagine putting my parents in a home. They have taken care of me through the ups and downs of my life and I will be with them till the very end .
By the end of the sermon I and many others were nearly in tears . I’ve never really understood my faith properly until a year ago when I started attending confirmation classes and attended few youth retreats.
I know this is a long post but I just want to tell all of yall that there is hope and no matter how lost u feel …God is always with you. The only thing you have to do is to make a little effort and search for him yourself .
Have a blessed Good Friday everyone !!
