Today is Holy Monday. The day Jesus kicked the money lenders out of the Temple.

Modern Christianity wants to paint Jesus as a harmless pacifist who just wanted everyone to get along.

They couldn’t be more wrong.

He doesn't write a strongly worded letter. He doesn't ask them politely to leave. He physically braids a whip of cords, flips the heavy wooden tables, scatters the money and expells them from His Father's house.

The Lord is not pleased with mere appearances, trees without fruit, rituals without prayer, temples without reverence. He calls for authentic worship, conversion of heart, and fruitful holiness.

Today He asks each of us:
1) "Am I a fig tree full of leaves but no fruit?"
2) "Is My heart a house of prayer, or a den of distractions?"

Let Him cleanse the temple within you. Let Him overturn the tables. Let Him cast out every idol.

Because where He cleanses, He heals. Where He purifies, He restores.

Follow Him with all your heart and BEAR FRUIT! “I am the vine, you are the branches. He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without Me you can do nothing.” - (John 15,5)

Holy Week!!
3 months ago
Holy Week is the most solemn and central period in our Catholic liturgical calendar. It commemorates the final week of Our Lord Jesus Christ’s earthly life, from His triumphal entry into Jerusalem through His Passion, Death, and leading into His glorious Resurrection. The observance of Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and concludes on Holy Saturday, forming the immediate preparation for Easter.

Palm Sunday recalls Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, where crowds welcomed Him with palm branches. During the liturgy, the faithful receive blessed palms, which serve as sacramentals for the year ahead, as a remembrance of the Kingship of Jesus Christ and our duty to proclaim it in our daily living.

The days of Holy Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the latter sometimes called Spy Wednesday, focus on the events immediately preceding the Passion. These include the anointing at Bethany and the plotting of Judas’ betrayal. On one of these days, or sometimes on Holy Thursday morning, the bishop celebrates the Chrism Mass, during which the holy oils used in the celebration of the sacraments throughout the year are blessed.

Holy Thursday, also known as Maundy Thursday, commemorates the Last Supper. It marks the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the Sacred Priesthood. The principal liturgy is the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, which includes the ritual washing of feet. Following the offering of Holy Mass, the Blessed Sacrament is transferred to a place of repose, and the altars are stripped bare, signifying Christ’s abandonment and suffering.

Good Friday is dedicated to the solemn commemoration of Christ’s Passion and Crucifixion. No Mass is celebrated on this day. Instead, the liturgy consists of a service of the Word, the veneration of the Cross, and the distribution of Holy Communion from hosts consecrated the previous day. It is observed as a day of strict fasting and abstinence.

Holy Saturday is a day of quiet waiting and reflection, recalling Christ’s descent among the dead. The Church remains in a state of mourning, with no celebration of Mass until the Easter Vigil, which takes place after nightfall.

The heart of Holy Week is the Easter Triduum, a single continuous liturgical celebration extending from the evening of Holy Thursday through the evening of Easter Sunday. This encompasses the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection. The Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night stands as the liturgical high point of the year. It includes the blessing of the new fire, the proclamation of the Exsultet, extensive readings from the history of salvation, the celebration of baptisms and the reception of converts, with their sacramental initiation.

Throughout Holy Week the faithful are invited to participate deeply in these sacred mysteries of our Catholic faith through attentive prayer, fasting, and full engagement with the Church’s liturgies.
