Getting Ready for Holy Week

We are so used to seeing crucifixes that the deep and beautiful meaning behind them is often lost on us. We have to make an effort to shake ourselves out of that routine.

This is one reason behind the season of Lent. In just a couple of weeks, we will be celebrating, in the

liturgy of Holy Week, this great mystery of Christ's cross and resurrection.

Is there anything we can do now, practically speaking, to help refresh our awareness of the meaning behind the crucifix, anything that could help us prepare ourselves to celebrate Holy Week more deeply, more beautifully?

We don't have to get complicated - even a simple effort can sometimes make a big difference.

A family movie night this week or weekend could be a good idea - watching and discussing together some great Catholic films: "The Passion of the Christ", "Jesus of Nazareth", "Ben-Hur", Angels with Dirty Faces"...

Doing a special holy hour, individually or as a family, to pray for each other and your loved ones. Performing some Christian work of mercy - visiting prisoners, the sick, the home-bound...

If we do our part to help remind ourselves of what the crucifix really means - its revelation of the heart of God - Christ will come to our aid.

And when that happens, we will experience more deeply and more personally the fulfillment of his promise: "...when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself."

As he draws closer to us through holy Mass, let's let him draw us closer to himself more than ever, so that we can begin to hear, and to share, the love-filled beatings of his heart.
