4 HOLY WEEK! No other week in the year receives this name or this honor. As much as most of us love Christmas and for many it is the most popular holiday/holy day of the year, it does not compare to the depth and richness of Easter and the week leading up to it. These are the most important days of the liturgical year for Christians. The other major religions have their sacred days as well: Judaism: The Jewish High Holy Days are observed during the 10-day period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is celebrated the first and second days of Tishri, the seventh month of the Jewish calendar. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn day of the Jewish year and is observed on the tenth day of Tishri. These days usually fall in Autumn. In 2016 these are from October Islam: Ramadan is the holy month in which Muslims must fast from dawn to sunset primarily as a devotion to the commandment of Allah. It falls in different months depending on the Islamic lunar calendar. In 2016 it is from June 6 to July 5. So Jewish people have their Holy DAYS, Muslims have their Holy MONTH and we Christians have our Holy WEEK. So, why is Easter more important than Christmas? If Easter had not happened, Christmas would have no meaning. If the tomb is not empty, the cradle makes no difference. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then he really is just a misguided Jewish rabbi with delusions of grandeur. If Easter is not true, then Christmas is only the story of an obscure baby born in an out-of-theway village in a forgotten land 2000 years ago. It is Easter that gives Christmas its meaning. You want proof? In all the New Testament no major doctrinal point is ever built upon the virgin birth of Christ. Not one. It's true. It happened. But it's never discussed or mentioned. In fact, two gospels don't even say anything about it. But the resurrection? That's a different story. In every part of the New Testament, it comes up again and again. Read the sermons of Acts. When the first Christians preached, they didn't mention Bethlehem; they talked about the empty tomb. They never got over the fact that on Easter Sunday when they went to the tomb, Jesus was gone. So, isn t all this reason to make Sunday, March 20 through and including Sunday, March 27, 2016 the most important week in your spiritual life? In other words, is the week that starts today really going to be a HOLY WEEK? That s for each of us to decide. At the least, I would hope that each of us would do a few things differently this week. First of all, look at the schedule on the front of this very bulletin. Why not re-adjust our priorities and our calendars to attend as many of these services as possible? If you just can t make too many of them for whatever good reasons, then you can still make this week holy by reading the Scripture passages for each day as listed in the upper right hand corner of page 5; or just spend some quiet time each day reflecting on the love of Jesus Christ who would suffer and die that we might have our sins forgiven and the promise of eternal life. Have a HOLY WEEK! Page 4 NEW BEGINNINGS A Ministry of Hope, Healing and Consolation New Beginnings is a Bereavement Ministry designed to provide support to Christian individuals who have experienced traumatic loss in their lives. The grieving process can cause a sense of feeling disconnected, dismayed and can fill the individual with a sense of hopelessness and despair. New Beginnings offers several services that will gently accompany the bereaved and the parish community in their adjustment to the fact of death and to the sorrow this entails. HOPE Catholic Funeral Mass Planning and Coordination - Our faith reminds us of the sure and certain hope that our loved one who died in Christ will rise with him on the last day. A compassionate and non-judgmental funeral coordinator will guide you in planning a beautiful funeral liturgy for your deceased loved one. You will be assisted in choosing Scripture readings and hymns that express our Christian hope in Christ s saving death and resurrection. Contact: Patti Fitzpatrick HEALING Grief Facilitation - Blessed are they who mourn; they shall be consoled (Matthew 5:3) This support group offers trained individuals to help the bereaved understand the process of grief. In these classes, individuals examine their feelings during this intense period and look at coping mechanisms to move through the process feeling guided and not alone. The service has structured classes on various topics and also offers sessions for participants to examine their experiences and share with others in a safe environment led by a facilitator. Contact: Susie Cram Next meetings March 29. CONSOLATION Helping the Bereaved - If one member suffers in the body of Christ which is the Church, all the members suffer with that member (1 Cor. 12:26) When a member of Christ s Body dies, the faithful are called to a ministry of consolation to those who have suffered the loss of one whom they love. This is an inservice offered to help individuals who are close to, work with, or know someone who has suffered a loss, but who are not sure how to help the bereaved. The instructor will teach the participants the stages of grief, describe normal grief behavior and share ways to journey with the individual they want to help or support. Contact: Susie Cram

5 Sponsor couples needed for Holy Spirit Marriage Prep Program Holy Spirit s For Better And Forever Marriage Preparation program is in need of several more Sponsor couples.
