Morning Prayer – Good Friday

6:30 am – Matins .
Among the most intense rites of Good Friday, the moment of "the Encounter" ('Ncuntru) stands out, when at daybreak, the grieving Mother meets the gaze of her suffering Son.
From the oratory, the brothers of the Sacrament carry Christ, stretched out on the bier, in procession toward Calvary. The procession moves slowly, accompanied only by their footsteps and a silence filled with respect and devotion, which seems to speak louder than a thousand words.
