Marriage Preparation Course and paperwork are required. It is a difficult time for everyone. For many, very difficult. Let us try, if we can, to make the best use of this time: let us be generous; let us help those in need in our neighbourhood; let us look out for the loneliest people, perhaps by telephone or social networks; let us pray to the Lord for those who are in difficulty in the world. Even if we are isolated, thought and spirit can go far with the creativity of love. This is what we need today: the creativity of love. We will celebrate Holy Week in a truly unusual way, which manifests and sums up the message of the Gospel, that of God’s boundless love. And in the silence of our cities, the Easter Gospel will resound. The Apostle Paul says: “And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him Who died for them and was raised again” (2 Cor 5:15). In the risen Jesus, life conquered death. This Paschal faith nourishes our them hope. It is the hope of a better time, in which we can be better, finally freed from evil and from this pandemic. It is a hope: hope does not disappoint; it is not an illusion, it is a hope. Beside each other, in love and patience, we can them and was raised again” (2 Cor 5:15).

  • Lenten Quiz for Levels 5-8
    Lenten Quiz for Levels 5-8 1. What is the liturgical color during Lent? Violet The liturgical color during Lent is violet, typically. However, there are a few days throughout the season that use other colors. The feasts of the Annunciation, on March 25, and St. Joseph, on March 19, can use white vestments, as can Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday. The Fourth Sunday of Lent, Laetare Sunday, calls for the color rose where it is the custom. The Sixth Sunday during Lent, Palm Sunday, uses red vestments, as does Good Friday. 2. Ash Wednesday is a Holy Day of Obligation. False. Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation as many mistakenly believe, but it tends to be one of the more crowded Masses of the Church Year. It is certainly a good idea to start out the season of Lent with this important Mass, which reminds us of the penitence we are to be practicing during the season, as well as our own mortality. 3. Why do we receive ashes on Ash Wednesday? Because of the penitential nature of the season. We receive ashes as a reminder of our repentance, sorrow, and humility, as ashes symbolize in the Bible. They also remind us that “thou art dust, and to dust thou shall return.” (It is also not a requirement that Catholics receive ashes on Ash Wednesday.) 4. Why do Catholics set aside Fridays as particularly sacrificial days? Because it is the day Christ died for our sins. Fridays are always considered sacrificial days, both during Lent and during the rest of the year, because Christ died for us on the cross on a Friday.

The Chruch cries out on Easter Sunday: This is the day the Lord has made. It is the holiest day of the entire year. On Easter day and along the Octave, in time of Christendom, Roman Catholics greeted each other with the words of the Gospel of St. Luke (24:34): “Surrexit Dominus vere, Alleluia!” (The lord is risen, indeed!). The person so greet- ed responds: “Et Apparuit Simoni, Alleluia!” (And has appeared unto Simon, Alleluia!”). Easter is the foundation of our faith. Jesus is risen, He has triumphed and we are all sharers in that victory over sin and death. We all know the origin of such joy: God has acted as He has promised.

  • Sermon Transcript: Good Friday
    Copyright © 2017 Territorial Mission Resources Department - Australia Southern Territory 1 Written by Christopher Trodden B.A (Bib.Stud) Easter series: Message 2 Sermon Outline: Good Friday Topic: Easter Friday Main Point: Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on Good Friday, we can now enter through the door that leads to eternal life. Intended Response: Step into a new way of living and reveal the Kingdom of God to others by opening the door to Jesus (Rev 3:20). Key Text Jn 10:7-15 Introduction When we think of Easter Friday, we often recall the dramatic imagery surrounding Jesus’ trial and crucifixion. This message seeks to engage our congregation and visitors by exploring another image – Jesus as the door to life. A. Jesus calls Himself a door Our faith is in the safest place when we trust in Jesus. Jesus was prepared to lay His life down to save ours. As the Good Shepherd, He will never leave us in times of trouble. Point One: Jesus truly is the Greatest Door of all! B. Why did Jesus die on Good Friday Sin came flooding into the earth when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Actions open doors of consequence and sin. On Good Friday, Jesus opened up the door to eternal life. Point Two: Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on Good Friday, we can now enter through the door to eternal life. C. On the cross, Jesus closed the door that gives sin the rule over our lives But why didn’t Jesus lock the door to sin? We have a choice to close the door to sin and open the door to Jesus.
