Fr. John Paul’s Spiritual Brew
W e walk with Jesus into Jerusalem...
into days of praise, betrayal, a last
supper, arrest, torture, and a death
sentence. Not a very attractive
week! So, why do we celebrate it year after
year?! Isn’t there enough darkness in our world
already? Can’t we just skip to the resurrection
and the glory of Easter? After all.. we know this
story... Why bring ourselves down each year?
Passion Sunday leading into Holy Week
reveals the deep passion of a God who wants to
share the depths of his love for his creation. God
holds nothing back in loving us. He is willing to
keep giving through humanity’s rejection,
disobedience, and refusal to open ourselves to his
love. Our God will do whatever it takes to get our
attention, and to turn us.... from hatred to
mercy... death to life... and from sadness to
resurrected joy.... which is transformative.
May our journey through, with, and in
Him.... this Holy Week.... call from us something
that is good, true, and beautiful. “O Lord, I do
believe... Help my unbelief”
The Triduum: “The Three Great Days”
We invite you to share these important and
dramatic liturgies with us at the St. Thomas More
Newman Center. The Triduum celebrations of
Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday -
usher in the great celebration of Easter. Each day
begins with reflective morning prayer at 8am in
the chapel and concludes with a powerful liturgy
‘accenting’ the ‘raising of the pitch’ of God’s love
in Jesus... played out ‘Sacramentally’ for our
benefit and way forward.... Please join us! For
more on the history of the Triduum please see our
Lenten Resource Page on our website at:
www.UACatholic.org/Lent
LENTEN RECONCILIATION SERVICE Tuesday, March 27th at 7PM in the chapel
We will celebrate a Communal Penance Service with a Liturgy of the Word Service and short reflection by one of our student ministers, an Examination of Conscience and
the opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation with one of several priests.
WHAT IS TENEBRAE? At 8AM on the mornings of Holy Thursday, Good Friday
and Easter Saturday, we gather in the chapel for prayer to chant the psalms of Matins and Lauds along with selected
homilies from the Office of Readings to prepare for the evening liturgies of the Easter Triduum (Three Days). A
candle is extinguished on the candelabra after each of the psalms and the community offers its Solemn Intercessions, calling upon God’s mercy and love during this week called holy. We hope you’ll join us for this ancient prayer service
of the Church that is celebrated in the tradition of the Dominican Order.
MEMORIAL EASTER FLOWER DONATIONS Donations in memory of deceased loved ones can be made
at the office or online at the link in the Stewardship Report. Please include their name(s) in the memo line for a
listing in the bulletin during the Easter Season.
