COMMENTARY ON THE READINGS: GOOD FRIDAY YEAR C

Theme: We have a great High Priest

 

1st Reading: Isaiah, chapter 52: 13 to chapter 53: 12

The Lord’s servant was despised, rejected and maltreated. He was innocent, but had to suffer and die to save you and me from damnation. God rewarded him with his own eternal glory.

 

2nd Reading: Letter of Paul to the Hebrews, chapter 4: 14 – 16, and chapter 5: 7 – 9

Jesus Christ, our High Priest, is able to stand by us and defend us because he has been this way before and knows our weaknesses. We can confidently approach him, and ask for mercy.

 

 

GOSPEL: THE PASSION OF OUR LORD, ACCORDING TO JOHN
