THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
Offertory Collection for
March 17-18
$ 1,79.50
Holy Week In Holy Week, we honor the pinnacle of the Catholic faith, when
Jesus rose from the dead as part of God's salvific plan for humanity.
This is bigger than Christmas. It's a reminder of His infinite mercy for
us, and a time in which we grow closer to Him in love. The week be-
gins with Palm Sunday.
A common tradition continues of blessing palms at Mass and to
make crosses from palm fronds we receive at church. These palms
should be saved until next year and given back to your church to be
burned and made into ashes for Ash Wednesday.
The season of Lent ends on Holy Thursday, when we enter into
the Triduum, the three days in which we relive Christ's Paschal Mys-
tery - His suffering, death and resurrection. Though chronologically
three days, they're liturgically one day unfolding the unity of Christ's
Paschal Mystery.
These three days should be a time set apart. Consider setting
aside time in your schedule for prayer and reflection, perhaps going to
confession, and attending church services faithfully.
Donation at services in your parish on Good Friday to support Chris-
tians and holy places in the Holy Land is encouraged and appreciated.
Holy Week challenges us to remember and relive the events
which brought about our redemption and salvation, to appreciate grate-
fully the price Jesus paid for our salvation, and to return God’s love for
us (expressed through the suffering and death of Jesus), by loving oth-
ers.
The meditation on these Paschal mysteries should enable us to
do our own dying to sin and rising with Jesus, which will result in our
healing, reconciliation, and redemption.
May our Proper participation in the Holy Week liturgy deepen
our relationship with God, increase our Faith and strengthen our lives
as disciples of Jesus.

60th ANNIVERSARY PRAYER O God our Father, You sent your Son to be our
Savior.
He began His ministry by calling the Twelve,
And when He met Peter He told him: “Put out
into the deep and let down your nets”.
At this word of your Son, the catch was very
great.
In your compassion, O merciful Father send
down the Holy Spirit. Draw all of your children
to the Heart of the Redeemer, so that all of us
may be His faithful servants and perfect friends.
Draw into your Sacred Mysteries all members of
the Family of Faith. Lead all Christians into full
communion and gently draw those who are not
baptized to the saving waters. Help us to “put
into the deep”. Amen.
Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Catherine of
Alexandria pray for us.
