\u201cDo not rush to the conquest,\u201d the late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus urged in his Death on a Friday Afternoon<\/a><\/em>. \u201cStay a while with this day. Let your heart be broken by the unspeakably bad of this Friday we call good. Some scholars speculate that \u201cGood Friday\u201d comes from \u201cGod\u2019s Friday,\u201d as \u201cgood-bye\u201d was originally \u201cGod be by you.\u201d But it is just as odd that it should be called God\u2019s Friday, when it is the day we say good-bye to the glory of God. Wherever its name comes from, let your present moment stay with this day. Stay a while in the eclipse of the light, stay a while with the conquered One.
