Our Lord must die for us to live.
Today, in our liturgical drama, he begins that journey...for us.
Can you imagine it? Can you imagine what our God has done for us, such pitiful creatures?
What love has been showered upon us?
And so...we walk with him.
Gird yourselves. The journey is hard; yet, our Lord is good.
We shall see life eternal. But first, first we must see death. Let us walk with him.
Pax Christi...Hold on friends, he will triumph over the grave,
~Michelle

Passion sunday is next week
ReplyDeleteBeginning in 1960, as a result of Vatican II Reforms, "Palm Sunday of the Passion of Our Lord" is the name given the sixth Sunday of Lent, which of course, is next week. Before 1960, Passion Sunday was the name for the fifth Sunday of Lent. It marked the beginning of a two-week-long period known as Passiontide, which is still observed by Catholics who cling to ancient tradition, and "Prayer Book Anglicans" who hold to the "old prayer book". Although the Post Vatican II Roman Rite no longer recognizes "Passiontide" as a distinct season, it still gives a nod to the earlier calendar by allowing for veiling of crosses and images beginning on this Sunday, (although in Anglican usage, they are veiled Ash Wednesday through Easter).

I always learn so much when I stop by here. I had never heard about the old calendar. Fascinating.
