Living the Gospel this week. Greater love for Easter. John 15:13
How do I make my Holy week meaningful with my family this year?
With the celebration of the palm Sunday, we enter into the Holy week. This week can be challenging. Here are some ways to help you make it meaningful and holy.
Sit down as a family to prepare for Holy Week. Involve all who live with you into the preparations. Don’t just give them the jobs you dislike.
Set time aside for common prayer by reducing the time of your social media. Take time to read and share the Good News of the Passion with your family. Divide into at least 5 to 6 parts. Or else watch the passion of the Lord together.
Find time for the sacrament of reconciliation that helps you to seek forgiveness and to forgive others.
Pray the stations of the cross, especially on Friday. Make time for the celebrations of the triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday night Vigil or the proper Easter Mass on Sunday).
Remember: "Greater love had no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)
