As we all journey through Holy Week, join with us at Caritas Deaf Service as we walk that journey in sign language.
Palm Sunday The telling of Christ’s passion, the first time we are reminded of that story this week. Jesus on a humble donkey being welcomed and lauded by the crowds, “Hosanna to the Son of David”, the same crowds that a few days later turn their shouts of joy into condemnation with cries of “Crucify”. We know that we have the joy of the resurrection to look forward to. Yes we have to travel through the betrayal of Jesus, the darkness of Good Friday but that hope, that Good News is waiting for us on Easter Sunday. Fr Paulo Bagini asked us all to truly believe in that Good News. He reminded us that we often treat good news in our daily lives with suspicion and disbelief but the Good News of Jesus Christ is different. As we walk with Jesus from Jerusalem to Calvary we prepare ourselves to receive this Good News with an open and willing heart.
Chrism Mass “I ask all present here to pray especially for the priests of the Diocese, not just today but every day.” words shared with us by Archbishop Richard Moth in this his first Chrism Mass as our new Archbishop.
We are so blessed in Westminster with the clergy who take the time to learn to sign Mass for the Deaf Community and thank God for their dedication and hard work. We remember you in our prayers, today and always.
