1
Lent and Holy Week
  • By Katherine Powers

2
The Gift of Forgiveness
  • Jesus knew we would need forgiveness
  • When we sin our relationship with God is weakened
  • The sacrament known as reconciliation (penance)
    gives us forgiveness from God
  • We are reconciled when we confess our sins and we
    are brought back to the Church and God
  • We need to feel sorry for our sins to be forgiven
    by a priest
  • This sacrament can be called conversion or being
    changed

3
  • Penance heals us from guilt and sin
  • Priests will give us penance to help avoid sin in
    the future
  • The six weeks before Easter (Lent) we are asked
    to repent our sins

4
Seeking God's Mercy
  • Lent is a time of penance and conversion
  • We are called to repent our sins and turn back to
    God
  • Reconciliation is Jesus special gift to the
    Church

5
Lent is a Time of Preparation
  • People used numbers as symbols
  • Jewish people use the number forty to represent
    a long period of time
  • 40 is important in both Testaments
  • Exodus says the Israelites wondered for 40 years
    before finding the promised land
  • There faith had strengthened after this
  • Jesus prayed, fasted, and avoided temptation in
    the desert for 40 days

6
  • When Jesus returned home he was changed
  • Lent prepares us for Easter
  • During Lent the Scripture readings have the
    number 40 in them

7
Jesus Heals the Man Born Blind
  • Jesus confronts a man born blind
  • Jesus spits in the dirt and rubs the mud on the
    mans eyes
  • The man washed in the Pool of Siloam
  • The man could see
  • This happened on the Sabbath so people took the
    man to the Pharisees
  • The man told the Pharisees the man who healed him
    was a prophet

8
Laetare Sunday (rose Sunday)
  • 4th Sunday in Lent (1/2 way over)
  • Means rejoice
  • The priests wear pink
  • The Pope blesses the Golden Rose
  • The Golden Rose is a thanks from the Pope to a
    very holy person
  • In some countries it is known as mothering
    Sunday. A day to spend with family
  • We grow more aware of Eater

9
  • Celebrating Our Salvation
  • Holy week is the center of our lives as
    Christians
  • God sent his son to die on the cross
  • This is the belief at the heat of Christianity
  • A Walk Through Holy Week
  • During Holy week we remember the passion, Death,
    and resurrection of Jesus

10
Passion Sunday
  • Most Catholics refer to this day as Palm
    Sunday. On Palm Sunday we recall Jesus entry to
    Jerusalem by waving palm branches and singing
    Hosanna.
  • (pg 342)

11
Holy Thursday
  • Holy Thursday evening is when we celebrate the
    Mass of the Lords Supper. On the night before
    He died, Jesus gave us the gift of Himself in the
    Eucharist.
  • (pg 342)

12
Good Friday
  • The day we recall Jesus suffering and Death
    on the cross is called good not because Jesus
    suffered and died, but because his suffering and
    Death brought about Gods gift of resurrection
    and new life. (pg 342)

13
Holy Saturday
  • The morning and afternoon of this day in Holy
    Week is filled with silence and waiting. We
    recall Jesus time spent in the tomb and Gods
    promise of resurrection. The evening of the
    Easter Vigil is considered the holiest night of
    the year.
  • At the Easter Vigil Mass, we praise and thank
    God for raising Jesus from the dead to a new
    life. It is also a time when we welcome new
    members into the church. (pg 342)

14
Tre Ore
  • On good Friday Catholics spend between the
    hours of noon and 3 praying and remembering
    Jesus. A priest in Peru thought we should
    remember the last 7 statements by Jesus.
  • Father, forgive them they know not what they do
    (Luke 2334)
  • To Mary Women, behold, your son To His
    disciple Behold, your mother (John 1926-27)
  • I thirst (John 1928)
  • Today you will be with me in Paradise (Luke
    2343)
  • My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
    (Mark 1534)
  • It is finished (John 1930)
  • Father, into your hand I commend my sprit
    (Luke 2346)
