This weekend at the weekend Masses, we read the Passion of our Lord from Luke’s Gospel, which is the Gospel we hear from during Cycle C of the Sunday Mass readings. Last year, I texted my sister a photo of me preparing the ashes for Ash Wednesday, explaining that the ashes come from burning the palms from Palm Sunday. She told me that she did not realize where they came from. There are a lot of connections we can make in our faith that perhaps we do not realize. I also remember that when I was serving in Tupelo, one of the men told me that he had never been to the liturgies on Holy Thursday and Good Friday while he was growing up in that parish, that he was amazed at the symbolism and meaning in those liturgies. I want to encourage you to participate in the Triduum of liturgies we have this week, to have the symbolism and meaning of those liturgies permeate your life of faith. Blessings - Father Lincoln.
