The Readings for this weekend are on pages 4 to 23. At the time of the Gospel, we will be reading the Passion, and if it is too long for you to stand, we invite you to sit. Today’s Mass includes the following intentions. (See intentions on the next page) Our collective quiet moments before Mass allow reflection and silent prayer. The Lord is constantly laboring to love us and speak to us. In order for Him to enter more fully into our lives, both time and space are needed. He indeed gives us that time and space before Mass. Please take full advantage of this tremendous gift of quiet reflection and silent prayer.
