Christina Rossetti's "Good Friday" was published in her 1866 collection <em>The Prince's Progress and Other Poems</em>. Good Friday refers to a holiday that commemorates Jesus's Crucifixion. Though the poem's speaker understands the significance of this event in their faith, they struggle to connect to it on an emotional level. Unlike the biblical followers of Christ who passionately expressed their sorrow at his passing, the speaker finds themselves unable to "weep" at the thought of Christ's suffering and death. The speaker thus fears that they're an unfeeling "stone" rather than a devoted "sheep" under the guidance of the "true shepherd" (God), and they appeal to God for solace and reassurance. "Good Friday" ultimately emphasizes the deeply personal nature of faith and proposes that during moments of spiritual doubt, placing even greater trust in God might be the only answer.

Speaking on - dealing with difficult people or situations, I usually grumble first, pass some kind of judgment. Humbly myself then pray and look for Jesus in the situation then move forward. just being honest. Peace -

For the return of my wife and son to their home parish where I serve as a deacon. They were hurt by a priest, but please give them the grace to forgive and let go of old hurts.
Shying away from inherent truth and leaning against moral relativism destroys the soul. Let us be like the Lord, and let us respond to his request, Take my yoke upon your shoulder for its task is easy and it's burden is light.

Don D. on Morning Prayer for Friday of the Passion of the Lord (Good Friday) on April 18th, 2025 at 7:01
Do I love someone when I neglect to tell them the truth? Do feelings matter more than truth? It seems to me bare naked truth is what Christ showed us…

Pray for all prisoners of crimes, mental health, physical health, emptiness and sin. Let us find our way to the foot of the cross and the healing power of our Lord's sacrifice. The Suffering Servant is never finished with us. Lord Jesus, open our hearts that we may someday be with you in paradise.

Oh, thank you Eden for this beautiful post!!! Like some fragrant trees which bathe in perfume the very axe which gnashes them, the great Heart on the Tree of Love poured out from its depths some¬ thing less a cry than a prayer, the soft, sweet, low prayer of pardon and forgive¬ ness: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”oh, Lord, silence my tongue when I want to complain about anothers behavior... "Teach me the science of loving"... St. Therese of Lisieux

Pray anywhere
I have prayed the Divine Office for many years. [...] When I discovered this app, all of my concerns of ribbon placement were gone. Having the Divine Office on my phone is absolutely the best thing ever! The sense of community is so wonderful as I see how many others are praying at the same time as myself. [...] Now I don’t need to turn a lamp on as I use to when I used the Office printed volumes. It is such a blessing to have the Divine Office in my pocket. Many times I’ve been sitting in a doctor’s waiting room at the time of Mid Morning prayer. It is so calming of any worries to pull out my phone, open the app, and be able to connect with Our Lord at those times I need Him most. I don’t use the audio version much but the few times I’ve traveled, it is so comforting to not have to skip the Office in order to keep my hands on the steering wheel and my eyes in the road. I recommend this app to friends all the time, especially to those who’d like to pray the Office but feel intimidated by the size of the printed version and getting the ribbons placed properly. Thank you for developing this app. It is my constant companion.

Super helpful
I have only been introduced to the divine office prayers two times before I downloaded this app. It is laid out in a way that is very easy to understand, and there is an audio option that will say all of the prayers. There is an option to set reminders throughout the day. I got this because, I didn’t really know how to say the divine office, and I didn’t know what prayer books I needed to purchase to begin. During the shutting down of churches for covid :( this has been a wonderful resource. One cool feature is that you can tap on the “in prayer” link and see little specks of light around the globe lighting up in the area that someone else is praying. It’s so cool to see everyone praying with you and is a powerful reminder that we are all connected and unified in Christ’s mystical body.

Praying with the whole Church
I love this app! Since it is now free and no longer for sale, I made sure to donate the price of buying it, and then some. I have loved the Liturgy of the Hours for 25 years. But I always felt alone when I prayed it. With this app, I am connected to others! I use it in conjunction with my printed Christian Prayer volume. On other days, I cannot get to my book but with the app, I always have the prayers available. I have the printed calendar with my book, but I actually rely on this more for placing my ribbons. The audio is wonderful!! I often read out loud with it. I love that I can change the speed of the audio! I have found that 1.3 is good for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this app. Thank you for still supporting it. Thank you for updating the “one God,” to just “God” change in the prayers. My book still throws me off but your app is right! Highly recommend this. Many friends have it. THANK YOU!!
