Reflecting on Holy Week
Holy Week is considered the most holy and important of all the weeks in the Church’s liturgical calendar. This is because in this week we focus on the last week of Christ’s life, remembering especially His passion, death and resurrection.
We begin with Passion Sunday, or Palm Sunday, where Jesus triumphantly enters Jerusalem. The scene quickly changes from joy to darkness, where all are welcoming Jesus, to celebrating His Last Supper, His Crucifixion on Good Friday and Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
On Holy Thursday, Jesus gave us an example of how to live a life of service. On Good Friday, we recall the day when Christ died on the cross to redeem sinful humanity. Holy Saturday is a day when we contemplate Christ in the tomb and prepare for the Easter Vigil. This is the ‘Night of Nights’, when we celebrate the victory and triumph of good over evil, of love over hate, of light over darkness.
As we journey with Christ this week, let us contemplate on how best it is to live our Christian vocation, hoping that on the last day we might resurrect with Christ who is the sure hope of our Christian faith.
