    About this ebook

    This little book of reflections is compiled by Fr Michael Collins to help us reflect on and make sense of what happened on Good Friday.

    The reflections direct us to look at 4 Angry Men – Annas, Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontias Pilate, and asks do we see anything of ourselves in their actions that day.

    It then goes on to look at Jesus, His arrest, interrogation, humiliation, and crucifixion, and provides a meditation on the Last Words of Jesus from the Cross.

    Lastly it provides a meditation for each of the Stations of the Cross.

    The meditations are short and accessible, recently one parishioner said of the book: ‘For the first time it felt like the book was written for the likes of me, and not some expert.’

    Fr Collins uses a lifetime of experience in teaching on the meaning of Good Friday to present those events in a way that deepens our understanding of the motivations of all the players involved, and the centrality of the death of Jesus to our understanding of who He was and is.

    This little book of reflections brings us all to look at this familiar event with new eyes and understanding.

    Michael Collins

    Michael Collins (1930-2021) was an astronaut, one of 24 who have flown to the moon. A West Point graduate, he was an Air Force jet-fighter pilot and a test-pilot before being recruited by NASA in 1963 as a member of the third astronaut group selected for the Apollo moon project. Lieutenant Colonel Collins flew in the Gemini 10 space mission, orbiting the earth forty-three times in 1966, and piloted the Apollo 11 module for the 1969 lunar mission which put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon’s surface. After NASA, Collins became director of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, then under secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and vice president of the LTV Aerospace and Defense Company. He held the rank of major general when he retired from the Air Force Reserve. Collins recounted his experiences as an astronaut in the memoirs Carrying the Fire and Flying to the Moon.
