Holy Week is a time to reflect on the suffering, the death, and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus.

The following are three things we can do during Holy Week to help us enter a closer relationship with God our Father:

First, enter into retreat mode. This is the time of year when the whole Church goes on retreat together, especially the three days of the Holy Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil/Sunday).

Second, permit God to do whatever He wants in your heart and soul during this week. This week is more about what God does than what you try to do. It’s a week of Grace, so give God permission to do whatever He wants in your heart and soul this week.

Third, try to be attentive to God’s special grace in your heart and your life this week. God loves to pour out His love, so this week let Him love you.
