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.
Our Lenten journey together is a miracle of God's grace, and it points to the mystical body of Christ in a beautiful way.
We are reminded today how powerful the Holy Spirit is, and what He does for us. The gifts of the Spirit are manifold.
Life is short. Death is certain. We must think often on the Passion of our Savior.
This holy season of Lent is our reminder that our nature is united with Christ in His passion and death--and in His resurrection.
