RCIA CORNER Palm Sunday Retreat and Holy Week Each year on Palm Sunday, the RCIA group meets for a day retreat to focus even more deeply upon the mysteries of Holy Week and especially the events leading up to Jesus’ death that we celebrate during the Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday). During this third stage in their preparation for the sacraments of initiation (called the Period of Purification and Enlightenment), they have been focusing more intensely upon their sinfulness with Jesus, allowing him to uncover those areas and shine light upon them, so they may live fully in his light. The scrutinies celebrated on the 3 rd , 4 th , and 5 th Sundays have especially concentrated on this theme, as we hear the gospel stories of the woman at the well, the man born blind, and the raising of Lazarus. Now they have the opportunity to ‘be away with the Lord’ and rest with him as they enter into Holy Week and prepare for the Easter sacraments. In addition to the Triduum, the RCIA will also attend the Chrism Mass at the cathedral on Tuesday of Holy Week, which is the annual Mass at which the bishop blesses all the oils used for sacraments throughout the whole liturgical year, and also the celebration in which the priests of the diocese renew their promises of celibacy, obedience, and prayer made at ordination. Please pray for our catechumens ( Maggie Werbelow and Jeremy Workman ) and candidates ( Matthew Daley, Brian Gentry, Kathleen Hastings, and Sharon Stark ) as they enter into retreat and Holy Week, and show your support by participating with them in the mysteries we celebrate on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and especially the Easter Vigil—the highest point of the liturgical year—on Holy Saturday. 9!
