Fourth Sunday of Lent – Year C

The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I’ve removed the reproach of Egypt from you”, and that’s when the Lord told them they should celebrate the Passover, and to remember it as an annual event.

We are now approaching Holy Week where we remember annually the passing over of Jesus from death to New Life – and before that how he celebrated the Last Supper. In this event he gave us the Eucharist: his body and blood, as our spiritual food.

So we hope everybody will make an effort to attend the Triduum services, which includes Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil. See the schedule below.

Through these liturgies we celebrate how God removed from us the reproach of sin, guilt and shame. This work of God continues by our celebrating his life, beginning with our baptism, and the Eucharist each Sunday or Saturday evening. Every time we celebrate the Mass we celebrate the Passover of Jesus from Death to Life and the new life that he gave us through it.
