As this week progresses, we must take care to let our reflecons go beyond what Jesus suffered. Our primary consideraon must be to see all the ways in which Christ is suffering and being crucified in our world today. Like Jesus, we must be concerned with the building up of God’s Kingdom, but while Christ is being crucified, there can be no resurrecon, no kingdom. In the face of the Christ who is crucified today, we can be like Pilate and wash our hands of the problems, we can be like the silent onlook- ers, we can be like the disciples who can’t face the crucified Christ and make themselves scarce, or we can be like Jesus and idenfy with the crucified.

GOOD FRIDAY COLLECTION 2016
The annual collection for the support of the church in
the Holy Land takes place on Good Friday. This
collection promotes the missionary work of the
Church in the Holy Land by providing welfare
assistance to local Christians in areas such as health,
education, employment and housing. Parishes,
schools, orphanages and medical centres throughout
the Holy Land also rely on assistance from the Good
Friday collection. The collection is also used to
maintain 74 churches and shrines associated with the
life of Jesus. Last year, Australian Catholics donated
$1.4 million to this cause, despite tough economic
times, rural droughts and increasing cost of living
which put a strain on family budges and financial
resources. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Please remember the Christians of the Holy Land
again this Good Friday. Please also pray that peace
and harmony will become a reality in the birthplace
