How Does Holy Week Make Us Holy?

Question of Faith

SPONSOR: Briefcase Marketing

Holy Week stands as more than a commemoration—it's an invitation to personal transformation through entering deeply into Christ's Paschal mystery, experiencing both suffering and resurrection in our own lives.
• Entering fully into the liturgies of the Triduum rather than taking a minimalist approach
• The importance of seeing Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil as one continuous liturgy
• Traditional practices like our Holy Night Hike pilgrimage on Holy Thursday, and food blessings that enhance Holy Week.
• Bishop Malesic's pastoral suggestion to personalize the Stations of the Cross by connecting them to our own experiences
• Finding healing in those places of suffering where Christ wants to bring resurrection
• Deacon Mike's powerful story of releasing betrayal before ordination
• The Easter Gospel Readings: how some disciples arrive at faith differently, like Peter and John at the tomb
