WILL YOU STAY NEAR?
We now enter a week in our liturgical year that is like no
other - Holy Week beginning with Palm Sunday
of the Lord’s Passion. Let us do our best to live
this week closely connected to our Lord whose
passionate love for us knows no bounds - culmi-
nating in His death on the cross and His triumph
over death - all for us.
There are two very different responses to our Lord’s pas-
sion; the response of Simon of Cyrene and the response of Je-
sus’ acquaintances. Of Simon we are told, “They took hold of
a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the
country; and after laying the cross on him, they made him
carry it behind Jesus.” Whether Simon entered willingly and
compassionately into this service or whether he took up the
Cross of Christ with a grudge, we don’t know. What we do
know is this: Simon did his part faithfully. He stayed near to
Christ, carrying the Cross until our Lord reached Golgotha, the
site of His crucifixion. Staying near to Christ, embracing the
Cross, transformed his life and the life of his family.
In contrast, all His acquaintances stood at a distance. They
knew Jesus! They had heard him preaching and teaching, wit-
nessed His signs and miracles, maybe even benefited person-
ally from them. Perhaps they did not participate in mocking
Him or calling for His crucifixion. But they chose to stay a
safe distance from Him when the going got tough. Unlike
Simon, they refused to go too near to Christ.
Where will you place yourself this week? Keeping your
distance from all the pain and suffering Christ endured? Or
close by, staying near to Him like Simon did? It
is when we go near to Christ that we can be trans-
formed by Him. It is by embracing the crosses in
our lives, stewarding them well rather than trying
to run from them, that we become His true disci-
ples.
Still unconvinced? Let the words of this Sunday’s Gospel
this week speak to you personally: “The chief priests and
scribes… stood by accusing him harshly” and He did not de-
fend Himself, for love of me. “Herod and his soldiers treated
him contemptuously and mocked him” and He stayed quiet,
for love of me. The crowd shouted, “Away with this man!
Release Barabbas to us” and He let Himself be led away, for
love of me. “With loud shouts they persisted in calling for his
crucifixion” and He did not object, for love of me. “Even the
soldiers jeered at Him” and He endured it patiently, for love of
me. “They crucified Him and the criminals there” and He
died, for love of me.
Stay near to Christ this Holy Week - attend the Triduum
services of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday,
pray the Stations of the Cross, increase your fasting just a bit -
and allow yourself to be transformed by His passionate love,
so that this week indeed becomes a week like no other.

Easter Sunday: 9 am & 11 am Mass
On Palm Sunday, we celebrate the first joy of the sea-
son, as we celebrate Our
Lord's triumphant en-
trance into Jerusalem
where he was welcomed
by crowds worshiping
him and laying down
palm leaves before him.
The Sacred Paschal Triduum is the three most solemn
days of the liturgical year; Holy Thursday, Good Friday,
and the Easter Vigil. These most holy days celebrate the
Paschal Mystery, first, the passion, suffering, and death
of the Lord Jesus, followed by his resurrection, the tri-
umph of the holy cross, and Christ’s decisive victory over
sin and death.
The Triduum is a single feast, the Paschal Mystery,
celebrated over three days, and they are the three holiest
days of the entire liturgical year. These days celebrate
the most sacred mysteries of our faith. The three days of
the Triduum are our “high holy days,” our “pilgrimage
feast,” and we ought to make pilgrimage from our homes
to church to commemorate and honor how the Lord Jesus
laid down his life for us, his friends, for our salvation.
Please make it a top priority to go to church to cele-
brate the Triduum this year. Reserve the time. Rear-
range your schedule if necessary. Take some personal
time off from work. Suspend errands or jobs around the
house. Drop everything. Plan to attend the Mass of the
Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, the Passion of the Lord
on Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil on Holy Satur-
day. Enter into the mystery.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS
This year at St. Patrick’s the different Ministries
within our parish will lead us through the
Stations of the Cross every Friday at 8pm
during Lent. Listed below is a schedule of
the Ministry and their week.
