Holy Week
Want to know why Catholics wave palms on Palm Sunday; wash each other’s feet on Holy Thursday; or kiss the cross on Good Friday? Look no further than Busted Halo’s® two-minute video that describes the final week of Lent we spend preparing for Easter.
|
Our journey through Lent culminates in the three days that make up the Easter Triduum. These three days draw us into the mystery of our salvation.
How do we prepare for these holy days? By taking just a few minutes each day to understand the liturgies we will participate in during Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil. |
"Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen
This is the song that Kris Skinner references in her blog.

How Can Lent Help Us?
Mariana Miller, a campus minister at Creighton University, reflects upon the meaning of Lent. Where did it come from? What are the roots of what we do now? How can Lent help us today?
Rooted in her experience as a wife and mother and grounded in her experience in the Catholic and Ignatian tradition, Mariana helps us reflect upon how Lent can be a time of real renewal for us all. This presentation was given on March 6, 2014 and sponsored by Online Ministries at Creighton University. |
