Palm Sunday - The Great Week of Holy Week.
This is the week that changed the world, bringing the hope of eternal life to many far and wide. As the Holy Church of God, we gather to ‘remember’ the events of Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection and be incorporated into the Paschal Mystery. To ‘remember’ literally means to ‘participate again’ and so, we are truly present with Jesus as he brings about our redemption. This is our 2nd chance – the first time round his disciples betrayed, denied and abandoned him, only the holy women and the beloved disciple took station with him. And so, as the parish, we create space and time to break apart the Mass, focusing on three core parts:
The Sacred Paschal Triduum
One Liturgy over Three days
1) The Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper –
8.00pm on Maundy Thursday:
Our focus is on the institution of the Eucharist, the Priesthood and command to fraternal charity. We keep watch with Christ at the altar of repose as he endures his garden agony.
2) The Commemoration of the Lord’s Passion – 3.00pm on Good Friday:
Our focus is on his passion, adoring the Cross, on which hung the salvation of the world.
3) The Easter Vigil & 1st Mass of the Resurrection 9.00pm on Holy Saturday.
Gathering after dark, the light of Christ penetrates our hearts and souls.
The Easter Proclamation is sung, and we begin our vigil of readings, to be reminded of the History of Our Salvation. And then, we celebrate the 1st Mass of the Resurrection which includes the baptisms and confirmations of our Parish’s RCIA candidates.
Other:
• Blessing of Easter Baskets – 9.30am on Holy Saturday
• Final Chance for Confessions – 10am on Holy Saturday
