We begin today with Palm Sunday with Jesus
triumphal and boisterous entrance to Jerusalem. On Holy Thursday we celebrate the institution of the Eucharist and the
Priesthood, and highlight our following of Jesus by a life of humble service,
as symbolised with the washing of feet imitating Jesus at the Last Supper.

Good Friday is a Solemn day of prayer and reverence commemorating Jesus
death on the Cross. The Stations of Cross in the morning, are a powerful reminder of Christ’s slow and painful journey to Calvary Hill; and the 3pm Liturgy, with the magnificent reading of the Passion from John’s Gospel, highlight the King of Kings dying out of love for sinful humanity.

The Easter Vigil with its service of light, the many readings of our history of
Salvation from the Old Testament; and the Confirmation of candidates from
the RCIA, all renew us in our gift of faith as we celebrate the life, light and
love of Christ in our lives. Easter joy will soon be with us. What do we want
to get out of this Holy Week? What are we prepared to put into this week
through our presence and prayer?

Gracious God,
others. We thank you for this call and
commit ourselves anew to responding with
courage and generosity.
In this time of challenge and hope for the
Church you invite us to start afresh from
Christ your Son and to contemplate his face
so that we might recognise him in others, especially those who suffer.
In doing so may we experience a new wave of
grace, so that the light of Christ may burn
more brightly in our lives.
Attune our hearts and minds to the presence
of your Holy Spirit, that our Church may be
transformed, our relationships be healed,
and our nation grow in compassion
and justice.
With the intercession of St Mary MacKillop,
who showed us new ways of
living the Gospel, We make our prayer
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Mary, Help of Christians Pray for us.
