Holy Week begins the holiest time of the liturgical year for Catholics. We do not re-enact the last days of Jesus-- we engage in holy remembering, a way of our entering into the Mystery of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. We enter-in in our day, in our world and all its suffering in this time. And the transforming love of our God brings the promise of new life to all who are hurting, who are lost, who are broken, who are grieving.

We celebrate the Paschal Triduum - the three-days celebration beginning at sundown on Holy Thursday and ending at sundown on Easter Sunday. On Holy Thusday we remember the Last Supper and Jesus' message of service: "As I have washed your feet, you wash the feet of one another." Good Friday's Passion of Jesus Christ is from the gospel of St John: Jesus is the already-triumphing Savior. We weep not so much for Jesus as for so many who continue to suffer today, Jesus being crucified in our midst today. And we venerate the Cross of our salvation, laying our burdens down at the foot of the cross. Holy Saturday ends with the Great Vigil of the Lord's Resurrection -- the highpoint of the Triduum. We begin in the dark and light a new fire, igniting the Paschal candle, a sign of the still-present Risen Lord. We bless water to flood our elect with the waters of baptism and confirm those who have been on the path of completing their initiation with confirmation and eucharist.

"Are you not aware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life." (Romans 6.3-4)
