The Lord’s Passion 2017
Lent
is a challenge. Lent is really a
difficult liturgical season to keep. It invites us to a deliberate act
of will. Many of us have not kept the Lenten observance – Prayer, Penance and
Alms Giving.
It
is not over yet and it is not too late for you to observe them in Holy Week. If
you have not started anything yet, start now. You can do it in this Holy Week
and that can help bring Lent to you. Do make it a point to participate in the Paschal
Triduum at your Church. The important
thing is not to give up in discouragement.
Our preparation for this day is very important because we are so
familiar that we might easily watered down its details and the significance of
Holy Week. Today is a time we prepare for the holy day of Good Friday. It will
be a time we reflect on forgiveness. We must forgive in order for us to move on
and grow spiritually. We must set aside hostilities and anger. We must put away
the jealousy and hatred.
As we prepare for Easter and as we begin our journey on this
Holy Week I wish each of you have a wonderful Holy Week.
