I’m not going to lie: this year’s Good Friday was made much more poignant due to my recent pilgrimage to the Holy Land. I struggled at a few moments to hold it together.

‪In the photo below, a fellow pilgrim is touching the rock of Golgotha. A hole exists under the main altar, allowing us to touch the location where Jesus died.‬
‪Love was poured out on this very spot. For me. For you.‬
‪This is why we call this day #GoodFriday.‬

This March I’ve been enormously blessed to be on the “Faith and Fun in the Holy Land” pilgrimage with Lino Rulli from SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel (ch. 129), his producer Tyler, and a fun group of listeners.
Here is the final homily from this pilgrimage, given at the Dominus Flevit Church, where Jesus wept over Jerusalem (see Luke 19.41-44, which was also the gospel from this Mass).

Here is the homily given at the Co-Cathedral of the Most Holy Name of Jesus in Jerusalem. It was very profound (and rather emotional) to be celebrating this Mass in this city, where it all happened.‬
Readings: Mark 11.1-10; Isaiah 50.4-7; Psalm 22; Philippians 2.6-11; Mark 14.1-15.47 (see the readings at usccb.org.

Here is the homily given at the Church of St. Catherine, which is right next to the site of the Nativity of Jesus. This homily is a little shorter than usual due to time constraints. Also, sorry for the audio quality; hopefully I’m still relatively understandable. :)
Readings were from the Christmas Mass During the Night: Isaiah 9.2-4,6-7; Psalm 96; Titus 2.11-14; Luke 2.1-16 (see the readings at usccb.org.
