The Whole of Holy Week

and the whole of our lives as Christians is the conviction expressed in this line from our Good Friday liturgy:

We adore You, O Lord,
and we praise and glorify
Your holy resurrection.
For behold,
by the wood of Your cross
joy has come into all the world.

Oh, beloved in the Lord, let these words sink deeply into our souls. Pray them each day. And above all, come to see them fulfilled this week in the various liturgies that open up for us the Paschal mystery.
