Holy Week

[ChiFaithful]

There are a wide variety of threads on this page, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I hope that everyone has a very fruiful Holy Week this week. Please let us know if there are any events this week that really mean a lot to you, or if you just want to drop a line.

I listened to Father Benedict Groeschel’s reflection on Holy Week last night. It was very inspiring and insightful. I reflected on how I can make this week holy. I came up with a few things I came up with. I’d be interested in hearing what other people are doing:

1. Praying the Rosary daily (I do this already, but I want to make an extra effort to focus during my daily prayer)
2. Attending mass daily. I didn’t today, but I have scheduled mass the rest of the week.
3. Trying to eliminate distractions at work and at home, such as television (although I am going to watch 24 tonight, I don’t plan on watching television for the rest of the week - except Baby Einstein videos with my son), gossip, etc.
4. I want to read and reflect on the gospels as much as I can. I hope to finish at least Matthew in the next couple days. Eliminating television should help greatly in this.
5. I want to also be careful not to indulge in food too much this week.

May you all have a blessed Holy Week.

I Love Holy Week, unfortunately MOST businesses dont share my enthusiasm. I would love it if the businesses would shut down Thursday - Easter Monday. I sure would love to see more respect given to our dear Lord during his Holy Week.
