John 18:1-19:42:
John’s Gospel details the passion and death of Jesus Christ. It begins with Judas’ betrayal and concludes with Jesus’ death and burial. It is proclaimed every year on Good Friday and followed rightly with the veneration of the cross.
The words of that beautiful hymn often sung during the veneration play in my head, “Were you there?” I was not but, on this night, I feel like I am, and I weep.

This is done for the sake of effective evangelisation. To promote the principle of the common good which the Church offers humankind, especially through forms and programmes of the apostolate which are fittingly adapted to the circumstances of the time and place, is the role of Bishops.
