The following Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (until sun down Holy Thursday) are the final days of Lent. The Triduum is not Lent. It is its own time, a RCIA – Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults three-day liturgical season. The Triduum is the heart of the year. The final days of Lent If you or someone you know is interested or curious from Palm Sunday until Holy Thursday afternoon, are like the doorway to the Triduum, about the . an entrance with Christ into the holy city of Jerusalem. RCIA classes will be TUESDAY’S 7-9pm at St. Gregory the Great Parish Hall classes Holy Week is about remembering: we trace the events of Jesus’ last days, from his III. PERIOD OF PURIFICATION & ENLIGHTENMENT triumphal entry into Jerusalem, to his arrest and trail, to his Crucifixion, Death, and Sun, 28 Mar Palm Sunday/Holy Week begins burial, to his Resurrection. We need to be reminded of these historic events, because for Tue, 30 Mar Class 26—Q & A, or Chrism Mass@Cathedral Thu, 1 Apr Holy Thursday 7pm Mass @ St. Francis Xavier us they are more than history; the Passion, Death and , his Paschal Fri, 2 Apr Good Friday 7pm Liturgy @ St. Gregory Mystery, is a living reality that shapes our lives. The mysteries we ponder are not past, Sat, 3 Apr Holy Saturday, Catechumens Only Preparation Rites, Rehearsal for Vigil but present, they are not outside us, but rather, by our , they have become part of 8pm Easter Vigil Mass, Catechumens Only Sacraments of Initiation our very being. That is why, at the beginning of the great Easter Vigil, the priest traces Sat, 4 Apr Easter Sunday Regular Mass Schedule the number of the current year on the Paschal candle, Jesus is not then, but now: “all time belongs to him / and all the ages.”

And so, we do more than remember during Holy Week. We share in the mysteries we celebrate. We sit among the disciples in the upper room on Holy Thursday. We stand at the foot of the Cross on Good Friday. We wait beside the tomb on Holy Saturday. And on Easter Sunday, we will share the joy of the holy women at the Good News of Jesus’ Resurrection.
