Accompany Our Lord this Holy Week
“In thinking about Christ’s death, we find ourselves invited to take a good hard look at our everyday activities and to be serious about the faith we profess. Holy Week cannot be a kind of ‘religious interlude’; time taken out from a life which is completely caught up in human affairs. It must be an opportunity to understand more profoundly the love of God, so that we’ll be able to show that love to other people through what we do and say.”
- St Josemaría Escrivá, Christ is Passing By, no. 96
As we approach the final days of Lent and enter into Holy Week, it is a good time to think of how we might live Holy Week well and prepare ourselves for Christ’s death and Crucifixion.
We have put together some resources below as well as some events that you might be interested in attending -
