God our Father,
Let us never forget how much you love us! Whenever we feel pain or sadness,
let us remember that you sent your Son to live among us.
Help us to remember your unimaginable love.
Amen.
We are about to enter into the Triduum, the holiest days of the year. They begin on the evening of Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper when we recall that Jesus gave his body and blood and taught us to care for others when he washed the disciples’ feet. They continue on Good Friday with the celebration of the Lord’s Passion as we remember Christ’s sacrifice for us. On the night of Holy Saturday, we celebrate the Resurrection with great joy.
As we approach the Triduum, I pray that you have a blessed Holy Week and a joyous Easter. May your vacation week be filled with peace and happiness.
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
