On this Good Friday, may the Lord nourish us, take us up into His sacrifice, and save us.
Christ rose from the dead and raised man from the depths of the tomb. Here on this Holy Thursday, to Christ be all glory and honor and power.
As Christ laid down his life for us, so we too ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
When we went down into the waters of the font of our salvation in baptism, we were patterning our life on the death of Christ, entering into His death so that we could rise up to new life.
Let us fearlessly acknowledge that Christ was crucified for us. Let us confess it not in fear, but in joy; not in shame, but in glory.
Join us for Vespers as we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord.
The Norbertines of St. Michael's Abbey invite you to join us (in-person or via livestream) for Tenebrae.
Let us regard as our home the heavenly Jerusalem, not the earthly one; the city glorified by angels, not the one laid waste by armies.
Every time we offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on every altar of every Catholic church, we are making present the one true and perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary.
This Church is the universal sacrament of salvation. As we fast and pray and extend mercy, we are exercising our membership in this universal sacrament of salvation, which is the Church of Jesus Christ.
The intimate union that we have with our Lord Jesus in prayer is such a consolation. Lean into that today, especially if the fasting seems difficult or if the mercy you're extending to your your brothers and sisters is challenging.
As we forge ahead through Passiontide--with our fasting, with our prayers, and with our almsgiving--we know that we are being taken up to the power of the Cross.
Let us dig deeply into our conversion and our repentance in this final stretch of the holy season of Lent.
