My first Veliki Petak with Pravoslavna Crkva






Later, I will go to the church for the Veliki Petak service in the Orthodox Church. It will be my first as well, so it will be new to me this day. I am fasting(thankfully) from meat and rice since I don't have work until May 8. I will eat any meat again by Sunday morning during the Easter dinner.

So, getting to my article.

Every Veliki Petak, I recount all the sins I have committed and how I can become a much better person. This is the day the Lord died for our sins. How do we think when we commit sins? Of course, I do sins but makes sure to limit it because I want to change, knowing the error of my ways.

It's our conscience that makes us go to confession and our free will. How many times we sin is nothing, when God sees our hearts and we, humans makes sure we will not sin more often.

While writing this article, I kinda think of those around me and how I want to give them my effort and become the reminder that God is with us no matter how hard life is and all the temptations we face. That's why Jesus became man and saved us from our sins.

 That's the essence of Good Friday. Remembering the Death of our Lord and God Jesus Christ.

The day of Christ's death is the day of sin. The sin which polluted God's creation from the breaking dawn of time reached its frightful climax on the hill of Golgotha. There, sin and evil, destruction and death came into their own. Ungodly men had Him nailed to the Cross, in order to destroy Him. However, His death condemned irrevocably the fallen world by revealing its true and abnormal nature. - See more at: http://lent.goarch.org/holy_friday/learn/#sthash.SpbTFFKT.dpuf
