The sacristy before the Good Friday services.
Before the Good Friday Liturgy, we made a solemn devotion of the Stations of the Cross.
Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi: quia per sanctam Crucem tuam redemisti mundum."
A tertiary of the Franciscans of the Immaculate also joined us for the Triduum.
