Messages of Holy Week
-
Holy Week brought the blessing of the Holy Triduum, with its powerful array of liturgies. The monastic and extended communities of Portsmouth were grateful to be able to fully participate in these sacred moments. Added to the liturgical life were various devotions as well as a Good Friday conference for the School. To give a sense of the evangelical teaching of these high holy days, we provide here excerpts from reflections and homilies of the week, with links to the complete versions of each.

His autobiographical sketch, entitled Pictures and Persons, offers insight into his vision and the community life he helped to set into motion.

The Resurrection, for BeginnersThe Resurrection is surprisingly challenging. This seems to be the message I hear in the readings of the week, in our homilies, and in my own prayer and in my spiritual life. We have an entire octave of days to commemorate the event, to celebrate it, to process it. It is not enough.
