Holy Week is Holy Week! I grew up with that idea. It was a time of silence and prayer especially during the Paschal Triduum. For me, it’s difficult to work or perform daily activities just as a regular week. Holy Week it’s time to reflect and connect with the real reason of the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Palm Sunday
Begin your celebration of the triumphal entry of Jesus into
Jerusalem going to Mass. If you can go you can celebrate it at home.
• Put a small statue of Jesus in the center of your dinner
table.
• Remember, we begin the Most Important Week on our Liturgical Calendar.
Holy Week Preparation Days: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
• Think of spring
housekeeping as a prayerful preparation for Easter in the same way that
Jewish families clean in preparation for Passover.
• Separate cloths, toys or can foods to donate to any charity.
Holy Thursday
This day recalls the Last
Supper when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. It reminds us that we
are called to serve one another. Let’s pray the Luminous Mysteries.
Good Friday
This day commemorates the crucifixion, death and burial of Jesus. It is the most solemn and
sorrowful day of the Church calendar. Let’s pray the Stations of the Cross.
Holy Saturday
This day commemorates the time of darkness and waiting when Jesus was in the tomb. It is also a day
for final preparations before Easter. Read the Bible.
Easter Sunday
Celebrate
the risen Lord at Mass with the singing
of the Gloria and alleluias, the renewal of baptismal vows, a sprinkling with
Easter water and receiving the Eucharist.
The time you spend on your Holy Week preparations will make
Easter Sunday more meaningful for the whole family.
