Holy Week Reflections

Dear Parishioners,

This Thursday, April 7, we will have approximately 10 priests for confessions. I invite you to take this opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation in preparation for the celebration of Holy Week and Easter. In this sacrament of the Lord, He offers us His unconditional love and mercy through the forgiveness of our sins. What a wonderful gift!

There will be no confession during the Easter Triduum; Holy Thursday, Good Friday or Holy Saturday.
Confessions will also be heard:

Saturday, April 9, 2:30 to 4:00 PM
Monday, April 11, 3:00 to 4:00 and 6:30 to 7:30 PM.

Below are a few Holy Week reflections for you.

Holy Week
O most gentle Jesus
by your most bitter death
give us a lively faith,
a firm hope and a perfect charity.
that with our whole hearts we may love you
with all our soul and strength.
St. Clare of Assisi

Here is my heart, O God,
here it is with all its secrets.
Look into my thoughts
and take away all my wrong feelings.
Let my eyes be ever on you
and release my feet from the snare.
Live with me, reign in me,
make my heart a holy temple,
a fit dwelling for your divine majesty.
St. Augustine of Hippo

Jesus Christ,
may your death be my life
and in your dying, may I learn how to live.
May your struggles be my rest,
and may I find all my blessings
in your trials.
Bl. Peter Faber, SJ

God bless us all!
