Fr Shawn McCain Tirres April 18, 2025 - Good Friday Why is a day of crucifixion called "Good" Friday? Father Shawn challenges common misconceptions about the cross, revealing how God's love confronts the powers of evil, sin, and death. Rather than portraying an angry deity demanding punishment, discover how the cross demonstrates God's radical love—a love so good it's terrifying—and what it means for us to take up our own cross today. A powerful reflection on the mystery that has grasped believers for centuries.
