On Good Friday (Friday next 29th March) from 7:30pm
there will be an ecumenical ‘Service of Prayer around the Cross’ in the Chapel of Christ the Healer at Cork University Hospital.
In addition to being broadcast on Hospital Radio CUH102FM, this year there will be an open invitation for people outside the hospital to share in this prayer through social media and SMS text.
Hospital Chaplain Daniel Nuzum says:
The suffering of Christ on the Cross has a particular poignancy when we struggle with illness and disease and so in a special way we as hospital chaplains wish to pray for and uphold all who carry the cross of illness and pain this Good Friday. Sharing this service through social media helps us to extend the embrace that God offers to all, especially in our brokenness.
During the service you are invited to tweet, or text the name of someone you would like us to pray for those present in the chapel will include them in the prayers offered here.
If you would like someone to be included in the prayers simply send their first name to the chaplains beforehand or during the service which starts at 7:30pm by
