Good Friday
Holy Saturday
The Easter Triduum (sometimes also referred to as the
Paschal Triduum) is the proper name for the liturgical
season that concludes Lent and introduces us to the joy of
the Easter season. Starting with the Mass of the Lord’s
Supper on the evening of Holy Thursday. Continuing
through the Good Friday service and Holy Saturday. The
Easter Triduum marks the most significant events of Holy
Week.
The Easter Triduum is often commonly referred to simply
as the Triduum. However, a triduum is simply any threeday period of prayer, recalling the three days that Christ
spent in the tomb.

MARY: A BIBLICAL WALK WITH THE BLESSED MOTHER
Mary appears only a few times in the Bible, but those few passages come at crucial moments. Catholics believe
that Mary is the ever-virgin Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth. But she also was a human being--a
woman who made a journey of faith through various trials and uncertainties and endured her share of suffering.
Even with her unique graces and vocation, Mary remains a woman we can relate to and from whom we have
much to learn.
If you want to learn about Mary this study, which is based on Dr. Edward Siri’s 2013 book, Walking with
Mary, is the place to begin. The Monday evening sessions begin April 4 and the Tuesday morning sessions
begin April 5. The contents of the 8 lessons are as follows:
Introduction
The Annunciation
The Visitation
The Nativity
The Presentation and The Finding in the Temple
The Wedding at Cana
Mary at the Cross
Mary Crowned with Glory
Each video lesson is approximately 30 minutes long and most are filmed on site. The high quality, up-close access videos of the Holy Land will take your breath away and the course content will renew your spirit and affection for our Holy Mother. Total meeting time each week is about two hours. A Study Binder is included in in the
$28.00 fee. Payment can be made at the first session but to reserve your spot please confirm with Barb Voss by
email at bjvoss99@hotmail.com by March 28th.
The OLW Adult Enrichment committee hopes you will join us on this journey.
BLESSING OF NEW LIFE
The weekend of April 2 & 3, after each weekend Mass, a blessing will be given for all expectant parents and
their unborn children. All parents, families, and friends who are anticipating the birth of a child, whether here or
elsewhere, are welcome to come to the front of the church after Mass for the blessing. Please invite anyone you
know who would like to participate in this celebration of and prayer for new life!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR HOLY THURSDAY MASS
If you would like to have your foot washed at the 7:30 pm Mass on Holy Thursday, please contact Mandy Dillon
in the parish office at 847-253-5353 or pastoralassociate@olwparish.org. After the homily that evening,
twelve people will be seated in front of the altar to have their feet washed. In this action we remember how
Christ washed the feet of the twelve apostles at the Last Supper. Among many other things, it is a reminder of
our call to serve one another.
PRAY FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD
We extend the mercy of God to our brothers and sisters, living and deceased, when we intercede for them and place them in God’s hands. In these prayers, we are connected with our
brothers and sisters and with the merciful Lord himself. I do not cease to give thanks for you as
I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him.

KATHY O’NEILL, R.N.
OUR LADY OF THE WAYSIDE
CAREGIVING IN AMERICA
Caregiving is a major issue. According to the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC), 21 percent of households have a
member who needs caregiving. The reasons a person may
need care vary: Many are elderly, disabled or ill and need
assistance with day-to-day living tasks. They may also
need help managing medical conditions.
Contrary to what many people think, most people who
provide such care are not paid professionals. They are
instead unpaid caregivers, often family members or
neighbors, and there are 65.7 million of them in the U.S.,
according to a report by The National Alliance for
Caregiving and the AARP.
The impact of the work done by caregivers is enormous.
Analysts note that the economic value of their labor is
over $450 billion dollars per year, though it is impossible
to put a price tag on the social and personal value of their
work. Many care receivers are able to maintain their
independence and remain part of their communities
because of caregiving.
In recent years, more attention has been paid to the work
of caregiving and its effect on caregivers. While many
family members experience deep fulfillment in helping to
care for their loved ones, caregiving has its own risks:
• Caregivers often experience stress as they try to
balance their own needs with the needs of those they
care for.
• Some caregivers report that their health has declined as
a result of caregiving. They feel that their own health
issues negatively impact their ability to provide care.
• The financial cost of caregiving can be serious. Many
caregivers report spending thousands of dollars each
year in support of their caregiving work. In addition,
some caregivers find it necessary to quit their jobs or
cut their hours so that they can be present for the family
member who they care for.
Caregiving is important work, one worthy of support
from family, friends, neighbors and faith communities.
Dear God, we thank you for your loving care and the
opportunity to care for each other. Help us to remember
and care for the caregivers in our midst.
Amen.
CARING FOR THE CAREGIVER
Within Faith Communities
Almost 30 percent of adults in the United States are
caregivers. This means that your congregation likely has
several caretakers in its membership. While faith
communities are often very concerned with providing
care to the ill, elderly and disabled, family caregivers can
be overlooked.
The work of a caregiver can be overwhelming, and some
givers of care can be reluctant to ask for help and support.
When a caregiver becomes overwhelmed and does not
get help, his or her life is negatively impacted, and he or
she may not be able to continue to provide good care to
the care receiver.
Because caregiving typically takes place in homes,
caregivers and the challenges they face can be invisible to
others. Sometimes congregations aren’t aware of a
caregiver’s situation until it becomes incredibly difficult
and much harder to address. Awareness of caregivers
within your faith community is an important part of
providing quality care to all members.
Congregations can do a lot to support caregivers. Here
are some ideas:
• Identify caregivers. Clergy and laypeople who provide
care to the disabled, shut-ins or the elderly should find
out who is providing care. The caregiver may also be in
need of pastoral care and support.
• Provide practical assistance. Members of the
congregation can volunteer to provide practical
assistance, such as help with chores. When appropriate,
community members may be able to provide respite
care.
• Acknowledge the work of caregivers in worship
services and community prayers.
• Provide direction to caregivers who are in need of
professional help. Direction may include directing them
to casework services, counseling or other resources.
• Reach out to caregivers. They may feel isolated from
their peers. Plan time to spend together over coffee or a
meal. In a recent study by AARP, 51% of caregivers
indicated that they pray as a way of coping with
caregiving stress. When appropriate, offer to pray with
caregivers.
• Help the caregiver find out if they qualify for financial
assistance programs. The National Council on Aging’s
Benefits CheckUp site helps people learn about
available assistance: www.benefitscheckup.org.

CYCLES OF FAITH
Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion
"Pilate addressed them a third time, 'What evil has this
man done? I found him guilty of no capital crime.'" The
Palm Sunday Gospel readings present a sad picture of
grown-ups who succumb to peer pressure. Three times,
Pilate proclaimed that Jesus was not guilty. But yet, he
gave in to the mounting pressure from the crowd, whose
"voices prevailed...and he handed Jesus over to them."
Also, during the opening Gospel at the procession of
palms, we see the adoring crowds hailing Jesus as "the
king who comes in the name of the Lord," but only too
soon the chorus changes as the voice of the crowd cries
out, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" What happened to Jesus' loyal supporters? How did the mob mentality overtake them all? Then too, we have Peter, who in comfortable company with Jesus and his friends promised eternal faithfulness. But when others began asking uncomfortable questions, he caved: "Woman, I do not know
him."
These three scenarios give us a chance to reflect on our
own faithfulness as we journey into Holy Week. Like
Pilate, do we know the truth but abandon it when it becomes unpopular? Public opinion these days declares
much Church teaching to have fallen out of favor--will
we renege like Pilate or stand fast to the faith? The
fickle crowds demonstrate another kind of weakness,
where instead of thinking for themselves, people just
followed those around them. Are we guilty of this kind
of passive intellectual laziness? How about Peter's problem: do we change our story based on current company,
or do we live as consistent Christian witnesses in the
world? This week, may we have the courage to accompany Jesus all the way to the cross, no matter what anyone else may do.
