    About this ebook

    Death is the one constant in this life. Wherever we are in our life journey, we are all moving towards our death. It is inevitable, yet we resist, ignore and deny this reality. Our lives are all that much richer from knowing they will end someday. Through confronting death, we learn how to live.

    The Catholic-Christian readings and liturgies of Holy Week offer an abundance of opportunities for spiritual growth. Walk with Jesus and the Christian community through Jesus' final day on this earth. Reflect with Christians throughout the world on the meaning of those final days. Find comfort and strength from the example of Jesus as he faced his death.

    Book four of the Season of Grace Series, Holy Week - Season of Dying will help you in your own journey through life to death to new life. The simple vignettes based on common life experiences will help you when confronting loss, betrayal, and death.

    Read the meditations all at once or day by day. Each meditation can be a self-contained moment of encouragement or a springboard to a longer period of prayer and reflection.

    If we die with Christ, we shall rise with Christ. Holy Week - Season of Dying will help you on that journey.

      HOLY WEEK - SEASON OF DYING

      Introduction

      I’ve long had a love-hate relationship with Holy Week. The richness of the liturgies in my Catholic faith tradition, the readings, the drama, the opportunity to stop what we are doing, put ordinary life on hold, in order to reflect more fully on the great mysteries of our faith–I love this. The work of making this happen liturgically, all of the details and special preparation I both loved and hated as it was a tremendous drain not only on my physical energy, but spiritual energy. How hard to live with those readings from Scripture, to live through that final week in Jesus’ life, through his death, over and over again. There is a richness that is inspiring, yet exhausting.

      Aren’t moments of passion, high intensity, like this? Even amidst the sorrow of death there is an opportunity for bonding as a community. There is the telling of stories and sharing of laughter even as we grieve. It is a gift to us during times of trial, a gift and blessing that carries us through these times. Also a source of memories.

      The death of a loved one becomes the family reunion, when members gather from near and far to remember. Holy Week is a great family reunion for the Catholic church. A chance for us to gather in the parish church and diocesan church, at the cathedral; a chance to gather as a world church in the one celebration of Holy Thursday and Good Friday
