Today on this Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion, we’ll be reflecting on the Passion of Our Lord according to John. Today as Catholics, we need to ask ourselves: Do I think of Jesus as a real person who is alive or as a concept that existed some time ago?

That He loves them so much He gave up His life for them?

In today's episode, I challenged you: Along with the Church's fast requirements today of one regular-sized meal and two smaller meals while also abstaining from meat, fast from noise for three hours today - the time Jesus spent on the cross. If you can do this from noon to three, try. Remember Christ on the cross. Remember that He is a real person who died because He loves you! Turn your phone on silent, do not disturb, or even airplane mode, and spend quiet time reading the scriptures, praying the rosary, or even sitting in Church reflecting on how much He loves you. Tell Him how much you love Him.
