HOly week

Holy Week is different.
Different from our daily lives the rest of the year, different from every other week in the liturgical calendar. This week time slows down, suspended as we ponder and celebrate the deep mysteries of our redemption. We walk slowly, a humane pace, in reverence and continuity with Jesus through the final days leading to the Cross. From his triumphal entry on Palm Sunday, the Last Supper with his disciples imaged in Maundy Thursday, the agony and death of our Lord on Good Friday, to the sacred quiet of Holy Saturday. At last we worship our risen king on Easter Sunday:
“Alleluia! Christ is risen!”
“The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!”
