HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE . . . . . . . . Page 3

NOTES FROM THE PASTOR

Holy Week begins today and we

should enter this week with reverence,

enthusiastically embracing the rituals

associated with it. To celebrate Holy

Week is, after all, to celebrate who we

have become through Christ’s Paschal

Mystery. I hope that throughout the season

of Lent you have prayed, fasted, and

performed works of charity. Lent ends with the beginning of

the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday.

The climax of Holy Week, and of the entire Church year

for that matter, is the Easter Triduum. The Triduum begins

on Holy Thursday evening with the Mass of the Lord’s

Supper in which we commemorate when Jesus established

the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper with His Apostles. It continues on the evening of Good Friday with the

Celebration of the Passion of the Lord and Veneration of the

Cross, and then concludes with the Easter Vigil in the

evening of Holy Saturday. The liturgy of the Easter Vigil

lasts about two hours, but I heartily encourage parishioners

to attend this very special Mass and experience the Liturgy

of Light with the blessing and lighting of the Easter candle,

the readings from the Bible that trace salvation history, the

celebration of the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation,

and of course, receiving Our Lord in Holy Communion.

Though we call this time the “Three Days” (or “Triduum”),

in spirit it is really seen as one continuous event. What we

begin on Holy Thursday is completed with the Easter Vigil

(and the subsequent Masses on Easter Sunday) – one long,

glorious celebration.

How we celebrate these three days is very important.

Families mark these days in different ways. Many people

make a Good Friday pilgrimage to Chimayo or Tomé Hill

or another location. Others have traditional meals on Good

Friday (Remember that Good Friday is a day of fast and

abstinence). Still others set aside a special time for prayer,

especially the Stations of the Cross.

These three days are the holiest days of the year for

Christians, and should be observed with dignity and respect

as days of peace and prayer. The Church does not allow

funeral Masses on Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday.

We are celebrating one of the central beliefs of our faith –

that Jesus, who suffered and died for our salvation, is Risen

from the dead! Alleluia!

At Our Lady of Fatima Parish we are committed to know, love and serve God through Word and Sacrament, through our

shared experience as the Mystical Body of Christ, and through the call to full, conscious and active participation in parish life.
