Holy Week begins

"Holy Week invites us to let go of self and embrace the Lord anew. To begin again! How desperately the current age needs to hear this Good news that we can all begin again! The real question is not whether we will mark time but how we will do so? For the Christian time is not meant to be a tyrant ruling over us with impunity. Rather, it is a teacher, inviting and instructing us to choose to enter more fully into our relationship with the Lord and in Him with one another for the world."

  1. Two of my boys are participating in a living Stations of The Cross today - we got to be a part of it at 4pm. I always feel very much a part of this solemn week since becoming Catholic and all the traditions and rituals surrounding this Holy time.

  2. Yes, there is definitely an "atmosphere" about this week.
