Holy Week

Yesterday we heard the readings for Palm Sunday.  There is a sharp contrast between the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem with praises of “Hosanna in the Highest” to the Passion of our Lord where we hear “Crucify Him”.   The Gospel of the Passion is a solemn account of our Lord’s sacrifice.  At the 5:30 pm Mass Fr. Vince let the Gospel speak for itself.   We heard Jesus last words, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit”.  Please make some time this week to prayer and practice of Lenten disciplines, and plan to attend the Holy Week services, the Triduum, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the East Vigil all at 7:00 p.m.  May you have a blessed Holy Week.
