Holy Week, 2012


In our remembering as Church we participate in the Paschal Mystery of Jesus.  We celebrate not what has happened but what is happening among us as a people called to conversion, gathered in faith, and gifted with the Spirit of holiness.  This week celebrates God taking possession of our hearts at their deepest core, recreating us as a new human community broken like bread for the world’s life—a community rich in compassion, steadfast in hope, and fearless in the search for justice and peace.  Order of Prayer/Three Days, vol. 18:1
