Feeling Christ’s love during Holy Week
The Jewish celebration of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, finds its origins in Leviticus 16, which lays out the complexity of the ritual for the people to atone for their sins and seek forgiveness from God.
Palm Sunday and the Passion
Every Holy Week, we listen to the proclamation of the Passion of Christ twice. On Palm Sunday, we hear from the Gospel of the current liturgical cycle, (this year, it is St. Luke) and on Good Friday, it is always the Passion from the Gospel of John.

As we come to the end of our Lenten journey and enter Holy Week, the readings for Palm Sunday center around the suffering and death of Jesus Christ, reminding us of the transformative power of His sacrificial love.
