‘The Holy Week’
W hat a w eek this is.
We call it H oly W eek as we
com m em orate the first Holy
W e e k . It b e g a n w ith a
procession that w as strew n
w ith p a lm s . T h e c ro w d
clam ored: “H osanna to the
Son o f D avid.” It w as a day
o f re jo ic in g , a d ay o f
happiness. It is difficult for us
to understand that by Friday
th e c ro w d w o u ld s h o u t:
“Crucify him.”
T hat Holy W eek was
the tim e w hen Jesus gathered
w ith h is a p o s tl e s , a n d
celebrated the L ast Supper.
He w ashed their feet, spoke
a t le n g th w ith th e m , and
instituted the Holy Eucharist.
It w as in that W eek that he
suffered intensely in the Garden
o f Gethsemane, was kissed by
Judas, and healed the ear o f
M alchus. That was the w eek
in which he was brought before
the H igh Priests, brought to
Pilate, and even to H erod.
T hat w as the w eek in w hich
he w as scourged, crow ned
w ith th o rn s, a n d b ru ta lly
crucified. That w as the week
in w hich he prayed for the
fo rg iv e n e ss o f th o se w ho
c r u c if ie d h im , p ro m is e d
paradise to the penitent thief,
and com m itted his M other to
the care o f St. John. W hen his
w o rk w a s f in i s h e d , h e
exclaimed: “Into Your Hands
I comm end my spirit.”
H ow ever, the B ible
does not end on the note o f
death. It continues and tells of
the resurrection. It tells o f
sev eral a p p a ritio n s to the
apostles; to M ary M agdalene,
to the tw o disciples on the
road to Em m aus. Those very
apostles w ho had abandoned
him w ere so convinced that
they sacrificed their lives for
him . It is not likely that they
w ould have done that, if they
were not convinced that he was
risen from the dead.
A ll o f u s w ill
experience from tim e to time
severe pain, pain that is like
the shadow o f death hovering
over us. It m ay be in tim es o f
b i tt e r n e s s ,
p re ju d ic e ,
loneliness, fear, sadness and
despair. Fortunately, we also
experience resurrection from
those tim es. Such tim es m ay
be times o f true love, genuine
acceptance, forgiveness and
joy.
M ay the celebration
o f the resurrection o f Jesus
shatter the shadow o f death
fro m o u r liv e s . M a y h is
resurrection be a light in our
w o rld . M ay th e p o w e rfu l
e v e n ts o f H o ly W e e k
strengthen our hope, inflam e
our faith and inspire us to a
deeper know ledge of, a m ore
perfect love o f and a m ore
dedicated service to Jesus.

‘Only Part of the Story’
The film ‘T h e Passion
o f the C h rist” has been in
theaters around the country
telling the story o f Jesus’ last
twelve hours of life before his
crucifixion and death on the
cross. The m ovie ends with a
hint o f m ore to com e after
Je su s’ resurrection but does
not share with the moviegoer,
as Paul Harvey would say, the
rest o f the story...
B u t th a t is w h a t I

The rest o f the story is simply
that life overcam e death even
death on the cross and eternal
life b e c am e a v a ila b le for
everyone in the victory o f
Jesus’ death on the cross, his
burial in the tom b, and his
resu rre c tio n to life. S om e
w ould say this is a faerie tale
and that Jesus did not rise from
