HOLY AND BLESSED
HOLY WEEK—is a time of Spiritual pilgrimage, accompanying Jesus through his Passion, Death and Resurrection. All the events of our lives ( good times and bad, sickness and health ) can be reflected in this week of
pilgrimage. This is a very special time for us. Our liturgies lead us through great moments of reflection and
contemplation of what God has in mind for each of us. He identifies with our pain and suffering while we
journey on earth, when we meditate on his Passion. He shows us how to lay to ourselves for the sake of others , how to trust the Father and accept the things we cannot change in this life through his crucifixion on the
Cross. He reminds us of the glorious promise and reality of heaven where our pain, suffering and confusion
ends forever. WHAT A GREAT TIME FOR OUR SOULS TO BE RENEWED AND REVITALISED. JOIN US

RESPONSORIAL PSALM:
Psalm 22: 8-9.17-18a.19-20.23-24(R. 2a)
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
1.
All who see me deride me;
they curl their lips, they toss their heads:
“He trusted in the LORD, let him save him;
Let him release him, for in him he delights.” R.
2.
For dogs have surrounded me;
a band of the wicked besets me.
They tear holes in my hands and my feet;
I can count every one of my bones. R.
3.
They divide my clothing among them,
they cast lots for my robe.
But you, O LORD, do not stay afar off;
my strength, make haste to help me! R.
4.
I will tell of your name to my kin,
and praise you in the midst of the assembly;
“ You who fear the LORD, give him praise;
all descendents of Jacob, give him glory;
