We continue our journey through Easter gradually coming to know more and more that Christ is not dead, but risen, and how that risen life offered to us is integrated into our own humanity.
We like to call the Second Sunday of Easter, the Sunday of Second Thoughts. We catch our breath after an intense and powerful Holy Week and Easter, then proceed through the Great 50 Days getting used to the idea that Christ is Risen indeed!
We now enter into the Paschal Triduum, the Three Great Days of Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection. Everything reaches its climax on Easter Day
Holy Week begins this Sunday. We describe the events of Holy Week and why we do them. We invite everyone to participate in any or all of them
The Fifth Sunday of Lent was formerly known as Passion Sunday because the Gospel reading was the Passion according to St. Matthew. This left Palm Sunday to focus on Christ's entry into Jerusalem. Now the Passion from one of the Synoptic Gospels is read on Palm and Sunday so we hear both the triumphal entry and the Passion. Lent 5 now contains the elements that will emerge in Holy Week, and especially this year, the promise spoken of by Jeremiah: "I will write my law on their hearts," and "I will remember their sin no more." We continue our prepartions to celebrate the fulfillment of these promises
