Good Friday should be silent. The church should be shrouded, the altar stripped, funereal cloths draped, only prayers and whispers heard. No music; certainly there should be no music.
Good Friday should be silent. The world needs occasions to consider the values of silence.
As Merton noted, words are a stain on the silence.
"Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid."--John 19:41
