When is the visit of the 7 houses made?
According to the weekly from the faith, it takes place on Holy Thursday at night. The parishioners who decide to visit seven chapels, parishes or convents are recommended to pray before the “monument”, which is the place, especially adorned, where the copon is exposed to the worship of the faithful (as the object is known), which keeps the consecrated hosts.
Meaning of the visit in the Church
This act is the desire of the parishioners to spiritually accompany Jesus Christ in the seven sections of the route he made before being sentenced to death, which are:
- From Cenacle to the Mount of Olives.
- From the garden of the Olivos to Anás’s house.
- From Anás’s house to Caifás.
- From the house of Caifás to the Pilate Pretorio.
- Of Pilate’s house before King Herod.
- Of the encounter with Herod back to Pilate.
- From the house of Pilate to Calvary.
What is praying?
The means of communication of the Catholic Church in Mexico details that the prayer that is recommended to make is as follows:
Mister:
We come as a family to remember
this painful time of your life,
When you were apprehended and convicted,
offended and mistreated
for the crime of coming to save.
Today we want to ask you, we want to comfort you,
Receive our love and company.
Amen
Finally, in the Catholic enclosures the priest in charge seeks to reserve the Blessed Sacrament in a worthy place outside the temple, all the ornaments and flowers are removed because the Good Friday begins and the Church is desolate by the passion of Christ.
