Parents of the religious education children at the Cathedral of the Madeleine presented a Passion Play on Good Friday.

Christ “willingly embraced the sufferings [of the Passion] in fidelity to his father, and his self-giving sacrifice revealed the infinite and unconditional love of God that does not discriminate. He offered his life not only for those who are good and his friends, but also for sinners and his enemies. In other words, he died for each and every one of us, even undeserving of such love.  This is the reason  today is called ‘Good Friday’ – it is good for us, it is good for the world.” – Bishop Oscar A. Solis, Good Friday 2023
