Holy Week is a most special week for Catholic Christians in many ways. Here are some of the things we commemorate in this week.
Yesterday, Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord, we heard how Jesus entered Jerusalem with great fanfare and joy. But then we read the passion and death of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark, and we are reminded how quickly things can change in this world.
This week, dioceses throughout the world will celebrate the Chrism Mass. In this Mass, the priests and bishop will bless the three oils that parishes will use during the coming year. Also, at this Mass, the priests will renew their priestly promises, and the entire assembly will renew their commitment to serve the Lord.
On Holy Thursday evening, we will celebrate the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. For Catholic Christians, Lent officially ends at the beginning of that Mass, and we will enter a very short liturgical season called Triduum. That Mass commemorates the institution of the Eucharist (Mass) and the Blessed Sacrament (Holy Communion), the ordained Catholic Christian priesthood, and the servant-leader model of leadership that Jesus expected Church leaders to follow.
On Good Friday, Catholic Christians come together to hear the Passion of Jesus according to St. John, the veneration of the cross, and a Communion service. In many parishes, in addition to the Good Friday liturgy, people celebrate a live “Vía Crucis” or “Way of the Cross.”
On Holy Saturday evening, Catholic Christians celebrate the most elaborate Mass of the entire Church Year – the Easter Vigil.
At that Mass, we have the blessing of the new fire and Easter candle, blessing of water, the singing of the Easter proclamation, and selected readings from salvation history of the Old and New Testaments.
On Easter Sunday, of course, we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead – the highest feast of the Church Year.
So, indeed, this is a very special week!
