Dear Brother Knights,
You are invited to renew and relive the greatest week of the year, Holy Week. Your presence is urgently requested as the Lord Himself is calling you.
On Palm Sunday we will walk with Jesus waving palm branches to hail Jesus as the saving Lord as He enters into the new Jesrusalem that is the church. Jesus willingly offers Himself for our redemption and we hail Him for such love and mercy.
On Holy Thursday we gather as the family of the Lord to make present Jesus of the Last Supper now really present again in the sacrifice of the Mass. Jesus teaches us the way of Christian service. Jesus ordains the first priests of the New Testament. Jesus then gives Himself to us in Holy Communion; He knits us together in the union of His very self.
Good Friday finds us at the feet of the crucified One as the story of total love, forgiveness, and mercy is poured out upon us. And we respond by kissing the cross after we have relived total self giving. Then we receive the Lord into a heart broken with sorrow for our lack of love.
We then wait and ought to spend some time in quiet contemplation. We wait for the cry of victory, the Easter Vigil as night falls upon the earth. Earth is wedded to heaven in the exultation that Jesus who once was dead is now risen gloriously. He has triumphed over sin and death and has redeemed each one of us.
You are invited to the holiest week of the year! The Lord is calling you!
