Today is Palm Sunday, our entrance into Holy Week, a very special week for us as Catholics that is really at the heart of what we believe. For the past five weeks, since we started the holy days of Lent on Ash Wednesday, we have been starting our Masses in silence, as we got down on knees to begin our Eucharistic celebration together as a community of faith. From that moment of silence at the beginning of the Mass, we can tell that these days of Lent for us as Catholics are so different than the rest of the year.
This week is a very special week for us in our Catholic faith. While our secular world has all kinds of other events going on, while schools schedule sporting events and proms and other social activities, while we have work and so many other scheduled events pulling at our attention and our time, it is important for us to make time to journey with Jesus this week, to have the events of his passion, death, and resurrection really penetrate our hearts and make a difference in our lives.
I hope that you all will join us for our liturgies this upcoming Holy Week, especially the Triduum of liturgies on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil. With the pandemic having hampered our Holy Week celebrations for several years, this is a great opportunity for us as a community to celebrate the mysteries of our faith together. Please join us! Father Lincoln.
