Today we begin the holiest and most solemn week of the year. We are called to celebrate this week with reverence and awe. Our Lenten journey of conversion and reconciliation has led us to the gates of Jerusalem, where Jesus was greeted by the crowd and set in motion the sequence of events that ultimately led to his passion, death and resurrection. This week we stand before the Lord Jesus, who suffered and died to save us from our sins. We are overwhelmed by this great act of love that brings new life to all who call out to God in faith.
As we begin this Holy Week, we pledge our prayerful support and love for Alan Fox, Sara Lazar, Bill Helman and Tim Iverson as they prepare to celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation next Saturday during the Easter Vigil.
