HOLY WEEK, the most solemn and intense period of worship in the Christian faith, begins with PALM SUNDAY of the PASSION
of the LORD (full name), the Sunday before Easter.
In spite of the spiritual gravity of Holy Week, it begins with joy.
The Church celebrates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem
and the Church her commemorative pilgrimage
with her Lord on His way to Calvary.

"It is a fact that an age waxes or wanes
in proportion to the worship of the divine Eucharist.
It is there that is found the life and the measure
of its faith, its charity, and its vitality.
May the reign of the Eucharist
come about more and more.
For too long impiety and ingratitude
have been allowed to hold sway over the world!
Adveniat regnum tuum. Thy Kingdom come."
St. Peter Julian Eymard
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Kingdom come.
"So in these holy days, in our homes, let us stand
before the Crucified One, the fullest measure of God's love for us,
and before the God who serves us to the point of giving his life,
and let us ask for the grace to live in order to serve."

Another beautiful post, thank you so much! And a timely comment from a Saint. We went to our online Mass with Pope Francis this morning. Although it is sad to see St Peter's nearly empty, it was still a wonderful and glorious Mass. Blessings to you for Holy Week!
