Holy Week –
An Invitation
We hear it said that “Christmas is for children”.
If that is so, then Holy Week and Easter are “the
grown up” feasts of the year. Being “grown
up”, means that we have responsibilities, worries,
cares. We have questions about pain, sorrow, love
and life that look for an answer.
Jesus didn’t come to give handy answers to
our questions but to give a meaning to our lives.
He knows the dark areas of our lives because he was
there before us. At Easter he shines the light of
his Resurrection on that dark.
His story of pain, sorrow, loss and death is our
story. His resurrection is our hope. So we ask you
to bring your troubles, your hopes, sadness and joy
to the ceremonies of Holy Week.
Together we will walk the road to Calvary with him.
Together we will listen as he gives his word of love,
his promise of happiness. Together we will renew our
own promises to love him and each other.
Holy Week is a special week for you personally and
for all of us as a community in St Michael’s
Parish. We look forward to sharing it with you.
With this week’s Messenger we include
an insert giving details of all the ceremonies.
Eucharistic Holy Hour: in honour
of the Sacred Heart and in spiritual support of those
suffering from alcohol and/or drug addiction and their
