ENTERING THE PASCHAL MYSTERY
The heart of the Christian faith is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We see in Jesus the full glory of God and the essence of human nature in its perfected state. The events we commemorate during Holy Week are the central pieces of our faith. To fully participate in this life, we must immerse ourselves in the Christian story that is told in the week that precedes Easter. As a community of faith we walk with Christ and one another through bitter agony to triumphant joy. We walk not in great strides but in small steps, passing through each moment with conviction that we will reach the resurrection and that we will be forever transformed by the journey.
We all have busy lives. But if there was ever a moment in the year to reflect upon the priorities of life, Holy Week provides this context. Walk with Christ and one another as fully as possible this week; come to the liturgies; be intentional about your devotions; and open yourselves to the potential power unleashed through your full participation in Christ’s death and resurrection. The marvelous mystery of God in Christ awaits.
