A Holy Week

Palm Sunday

We are entering the holiest week of the year: we celebrate the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ!  Easter can be a beautiful time filled with family and travels and preparations and celebrations (and I hope it is for you), but I encourage you, in the midst of all the preparations, to set aside some special time for the Lord.  This Holy Week, for you, will only be as “holy” as you make it – so let’s make it a good one!

(The Triduum is the Church’s liturgical celebration beginning on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, continuing on Good Friday with the special veneration of the cross, and concluding with the Saturday night Easter Vigil – one of the most ancient and beautiful liturgies the Church has to offer.  If you have never tried to attend the special Triduum liturgies of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil, I would highly recommend you put that near the top of your bucket list.  Have a blessed Holy Week!)
