This month concludes our Lenten observance, contains the high holy days of the Triduum (28-30), and ushers us to Easter Sunday (31). We'll perform scrutinies for our Elect (3, 10, 17) and welcome them into the church in sacraments of Initiation.

Palm Sunday marks our entrance into Holy Week and the time of Jesus' Passion and the most sacred time in our lives as Christians.

The Passion narrative is so enthralling on its own terms it can be difficult to keep in mind that it is not simply a drama about the death of Jesus. Gospel stories are deliberately told in a way that always invites us to find our place in the story.

At the start of each Holy Week, my mind drifts to the Holy Land and the visit I made as a pilgrim.

How do you pass on a living faith to the next generation? Robert Wuthnow, sociologist of religion, conducted research among people who considered themselves religious and asked what influences from childhood had helped their faith take root.

As we prepare to celebrate the sacred mysteries of Christ’s love, let us acknowledge our sins and God's great mercy .

It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.
