No matter where we find ourselves this week, whatever our burdens and struggles, whatever our plans and responsibilities, whatever has changed since last year at this time, there is ample reason to trust and hope. Jesus reigns – He is not dead and the Cross was not a defeat for Him. Nor will it be a defeat for us if we trust Him and His care for us.
As this Holy Week unfolds, Jesus may say seemingly cryptic things and we may not understand entirely where He is going and what He is doing. But Jesus does not ask us to understand – He asks us to trust that things are unfolding just as He said.
Join us in participating as fully as possible in these Holy Days. Previous blog posts and the parish bulletins (also available at this site) are loaded with links for easy access to Holy Week guides and supports. In the church, we will be live-streaming Masses and services on these days:
Holy Thursday (Mass of the Lord’s Supper) at 7pm
Good Friday of the Passion of the Lord at 3pm (Spanish at 7pm)
The Easter Vigil on Saturday at 7pm
Easter Sunday at 9am (Spanish at 12pm)
As we prayed on Palm Sunday: “Like the crowds who acclaimed Jesus in Jerusalem, let us enter into this Holy Week in peace. In the name of Christ! Amen.”
