In the life of a Catholic woman in business, success is often visible — but motives are not.

This Lent, we walked with Jesus to Calvary. Now, at the foot of the Cross on Good Friday, we ask: "How well did you bear your crosses and trials this Lent?"

Good Friday highlights a tragic event in which Jesus suffered a cruel and unjust death as He sacrificed Himself for the sins of humanity. And yet, because we know the purpose behind this great sacrifice and the joy to come just three days later, we can truly see it as a “good” day.

Holy Week is the holiest week of the year, in which we enter into the greatest mysteries of our faith: Jesus' Institution of the Eucharist, His Passion, Death, and Resurrection. This reflection invites us to be present with Jesus at each of these events — Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday — simply to be with Him and to immerse ourselves ever more deeply in these sacred mysteries.
