Good Friday 2020
All over the world on this Good Friday, the Society of Jesus joins in prayer with Pope Francis. Jesus took upon himself the sufferings of men and women of all times. This includes the sufferings of the world we live in today, afflicted by the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Solidarity with those who suffer, accompaniment of those who are afflicted, hope for a time of spring when life will prevail over death.
