Women at the cross

Jesus is, naturally, the focus of Good Friday. But through what lens are we focusing? 

When we hear the story of Good Friday, the encounters with Jesus  and the perspectives from which the events are seen are often those of the men in the story - the male disciples, the Roman soldiers, the crucified thieves, and Pilate. 

How would our own perspective on the events of Good Friday change if looked at from the perspective of the women who were there? 

In this Day Retreat we will look at Good Friday through the eyes of the women and consider how the insights from their perspective can inform our reflections about this important day in the Church's year.
