Reflection 

Holy Week

This week is the final week of Lent, Holy Week. 

There are special celebrations this week for the holiest days of the liturgical year;

The evening mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday

The Solemn Celebration of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday

The Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday

Easter Sunday Mass

The powerful words and signs and music of these celebrations help  us to celebrate the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

This Sunday we celebrate 'Christ is Risen'! Alleluia! Lent has given way to Easter. We rejoice in the glory of Jesus and the share he has given us in his resurrection. And so we sing over and over, 'Alleluia'.

Jesus,

Unleash the power of the Resurrection in my life today. Resurrect the area of my life that needs it today. Help me to stop resisting your grace, stay out of your way, and let you work in me and through me in whatever ways you want.

Jesus, you have conquered death and hatred with love. Teach me to do the same in some small way in my own life. Give me the courage to love when I feel rejected, ignored, unappreciated, forgotten, and taken for granted.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. I pray I never let a day pass without these words crossing my lips. Jesus, on this Easter we pray for all those who have lost faith in you, and for anyone who has never encountered you in a way that allowed them to embrace you.

May the power of your Resurrection reignite faith in my life, in the lives of all those I love, and in the lives of the entire Church.

Amen.
