THE SACRED TRIDUUM

12/4/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
Christ redeemed us all and gave perfect glory to God principally through his paschal mystery: dying he destroyed our death and rising he restored our life. Therefore the Easter Triduum of the passion and resurrection of Christ is the culmination of the entire liturgical year. Thus the solemnity of Easter has the same kind of preeminence in the liturgical year that Sunday has in the week. The Easter Triduum begins with the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, reaches its high point in the Easter Vigil, and closes with Vespers on Easter Sunday.

TUESDAY IN HOLY WEEK

10/4/2017

Holy Week is magnificent, challenging, powerful, exhausting, intriguing and utterly remarkable. Each year we dive out of our own space and time to be immersed in the great events of salvation - not as a memory or a story, but as a reality which changes our lives and world in a way beyond imagining. Much of this is achieved through the celebration of the liturgy. One of the most challenging aspects of the liturgy of Holy Week - and the Triduum in particular - is that it is different. It is not the usual day by day or week by week liturgy that our parishes celebrate.

THE CROSS - BALANCE OF JUDGEMENT

Picture
Judgement sculpture - Emmanuel Okoro
During our earthly lives, we have time and opportunity to accept God’s free gift of salvation and gain merit. We have the opportunity to enter into a communion with God and become holy. It is an opportunity for us to turn from sin and to live and love as God does, sharing in His Divine Life through Grace. This conversion from sin to God, this leaving behind the darkness to live in the Light, is a life-long pursuit. That is why Scripture speaks of salvation as a past event, a present happening and a future hope.

The Cross - The Tree of Life

Picture
It is through the cross this healing tree we are given life. The Lord calls us to His Cross today.  He tells us to give Him our fears, our sorrows, our pains, and even, and especially, give Him our sins.  He says to us, “This is why I am here. I willingly suffer for you.  Give it to me.  Give it all to me.” He takes them all upon Himself.  He dies so we can live.

PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD'S PASSION

8/4/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
And so we come to the Passion once more.  We can listen to the struggle of Jesus and the struggle of His followers.  All of them knew the Scriptures, but only Jesus had a full understanding of what was about to happen.  The followers really could not believe that He would be put to death.  We are called to recognize that we are part of His followers.  Like them, we find it difficult to believe that He will die.  Even more difficult for us is to recognize that it is we who help put Him to death by our sin and our lack of love.  We must walk with Him today and in this Holy Week, acknowledging our sins and our lack of love and praying that He will raise us up with Him.

5TH SUNDAY OF LENT

1/4/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Gospel of the Fifth Sunday is perhaps the deepest meditation on the mystery of Baptism and membership of the Church. It is a prelude to the events of Easter Sunday, when we celebrate the triumph of life over death. To be plunged into the waters of baptism is to be buried with Christ, only to rise with him from the waters. This paradox of life and death is the content of today’s readings. There is no more important part of our faith that the resurrection: that Christ rose from the dead is the very centre and heart of all that we believe - without it, our faith is useless. In the same way our belief in our own resurrection is vital: it is the most deeply needed gift that Christ gives us. This is why the climax of the instructions given to candidates for Baptism was this teaching: that Christ would give them life after death. Look ahead to the 3rd Sunday of Easter, where Saint Peter preaches to the crowds – what he teaches them is that life comes after death, as it did for Lazarus, and for Christ himself.
