Holy Week - Door to Easter

Jesus Christ entered through a door of the City of Jerusalem to suffer, die and rise again….the centre and core of the Holy week….we in faith accept that Jesus entered into the city to die for our sins…he manifested God’s special love for us…..He brought us salvation and freedom to be sons and daughters of God the Father…
 Holy week encourages and instills in us conviction that Resurrection of Jesus lifts our hearts and minds beyond our limited picture of life, it allows us that our difficulties and problems are short lived…..our future will have a new vision and horizon…he grants us a peaceful and happy future…we need to enter through the door of faith…we will experience new vision, hope and joy..
 Through the door of Holy Thursday we will thank God for the holy gift of the Eucharist, his own body and blood….He gives us priesthood and consecrates them to be good and holy shepherds, to share his body and blood with the rest of his chosen people.

Through the door of Holy Saturday we are invited to dispel the darkness from our lives and wait at the tomb of the Lord for His promised resurrection. The symbols of fire, word, water, holy oils and bread and wine…lead us to Christ and help us to understand and share in the reality of His death and resurrection.
