Pope Presents Good Friday Services at St. Peter's; Liturgy Live-Streamed to Cath. around the World

Pope Francis presided over the commemoration of the Passion of the Lord at a near-empty St. Peter's Basilica on the evening of Good Friday, the Independent Catholic News website reports today (April 11, 2020).

The liturgy was live-streamed to the faithful around the world.

At the Adoration of the Holy Cross, only the pope was able to venerate the Cross with a kiss, in compliance with measures to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

The Preacher of the Papal Household, Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, preached the Sermon, reminding everyone that God has plans for our welfare, and not woe, even in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
