This weekend, we commemorate Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week. We have been journeying with Jesus during Lent since our commemoration of Ash Wednesday. We have been with Jesus in the silence and solitude of the desert, starting and ending our masses at Holy Savior in silence on our knees. Lent is a special time for us, different than the other times in our liturgical year.
Holy Week is a very special time for us Catholic, the culmination of our liturgical year. While our secular world has all kinds of other celebrations going on, with sporting events and proms and other social activities, while we have work and actives in our busy lives, it is important for us to make time to journey with Jesus during Holy Week. The events of Holy Week that commemorate his passion, death, and resurrection are called to penetrate our hearts and make a difference in our lives.
We invite all of you to join us for our liturgies this upcoming Holy Week, especially the Triduum of liturgies on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil. Holy Week is a great opportunity for us as a community to celebrate the mysteries of our faith together. Blessings - Father Lincoln.
