A Thought to Ponder
Slowing Down for Holy Week
According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, time speeds up
and slows down due to the force of gravity. If you took two
identical atomic clocks and placed one at the foot of the
Washington Monument and the other at the top, the one on the
ground would run slightly slower than the one at the top. Both
would be telling the correct time, given their relative distance
from the surface of the earth.
March 29, 2015
You don’t have to be a physicist to understand that time
speeds up and slows down. A week of vacation just whizzes by,
while a week at work can seem interminable. A week of vacation
spent on the beach passes much more quickly than a week of
vacation spent constantly on the run. The quick succession of
important events has the effect of making time seem longer. From
that standpoint, Holy Week should be the slowest week of the
year, because it’s a week in which we focus on the most important
events of all time: the passion, death and resurrection of Our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Palm Sunday sets Holy Week in motion. It highlights the
fickleness of the people who wave palms and shout “Hosanna” to
Jesus, and five days later wave their fists and cry out “Crucify
Him.” The palm we receive is a symbol of our own fickleness as
we say “Hosanna” in our hearts as we receive Jesus in the
Eucharist, and then crucify Him again by our failure to live out the
Eucharist in our daily lives. The palm you receive should be
displayed in our home and a yearlong reminder of how often we
exemplify the fickleness of our faith.
On Monday evening, Archbishop Wuerl celebrates the
Chrism Mass at the Cathedral, during which he blesses and
consecrates the oils used in the Church’s sacramental celebrations:
Sacred Chrism, the Oil of Catechumens, and the Oil of the Sick.
They are then distributed to all the parishes, and remind us of our
unity through our Archbishop. All the priests of the Archdiocese
are invited to participate in this Mass, during which they reaffirm
their commitment to celibacy and obedience to the Archbishop.
Thursday evening begins the Sacred Triduum, really a
single liturgical celebration spread over three days. We begin with
the Solemn Celebration of the Lord’s Supper at 7:00 pm on Holy
Thursday. This Mass commemorates the Institution of the
Eucharist and of the sacrament of Holy Orders. During that Mass
the celebrant washes the feet of twelve parishioners, thus imitating
the action of Jesus who washed the feet of His disciples at the Last
Supper. The Eucharist is the source and the summit of our
Catholic faith, and the Priesthood is the Lord’s gift to the Church
to perpetuate Christ’s real and true presence at the Last Supper in
every daily and Sunday celebration of the Eucharist.
In contrast to the joy of Holy Thursday, Good Friday is a
somber commemoration of the Lord’s passion and death by which
He won for us the redemption for which the world groaned since
the sin of Adam and Eve. Staring at 7:00 pm, it is not a Mass but
a service of adoration of the Cross of Christ, during which Holy
Communion, consecrated on Holy Thursday, is received by the
faithful. Make it a priority to attend. After all, Jesus is just dying
to see you.
Holy Week culminates in the explosive joy of the Easter
Vigil, celebrated at 8 pm. It is the most important and dramatic
liturgy of the Church. It is at this Mass that adults are baptized
and confirmed and that Christians of other denominations are
formally welcomed into the fullness of the Catholic Church. If
you have never participated in the Easter Vigil, make it your
responsibility to attend this year. Yes, it’s a long ceremony—
about the length of a feature film, but shorter than a Redskins
game!
Holy Week should be the slowest week of the year,
because we celebrate the most important events of our redemption.
Make plans to participate in it as much as you can. And have a
good, and slow, week.

The Divine Mercy Novena begins on Good Friday and ends on

My will.” (Diary of St. Faustina) Novena leaflets can be found at
the entrances of the Church.
