Holy Week Exhortation

 

“We are being called into the FAITH of Holy Week. For in Jesus Christ, we come to recognise, that God enters into the deepest struggle and pain and isolation of humanity in these days.”

As we enter into the most sacred time in the liturgical year, we face an unprecedented time in our lives. This year, we do not have what we have come to rely on to aid us in our observance of Holy Week but this does not change the significance of the time we now enter into. This year, what meaning does Holy Week take on for you?

Watch this video with a group of friends online and share with one another what struck you and what is one grace that you’d like to ask for as you enter Holy Week. Respond together in prayer, by praying for one another! Be bold to reach out to someone today!

Let us make the most of this season at home and truly fix our gaze on Jesus! #HOmeLYWeek

At first glance, we may be quick to think of the physical and natural aspect of death. Yet, the call of Christ also entails dying to self – surrendering the desires, the habits and lifestyles that prevent us from following and loving Him.

The One Thing Necessary: 4th Sunday of Lent

What’s wrong with the world? As we scroll through the headlines of wars and crimes happening today, this question may surface in our thoughts. It has also been pondered throughout human history, for the darkness in the world is not something unique to our time.

The One Thing Necessary: 3rd Sunday of Lent

If Jesus were to enter our churches today, what will He find? He would not find any cattle, sheep or doves, like in today’s gospel. But will He find our hearts noisy and distracted with our worldly concerns and thoughts?
