Holy Week is the week which precedes the great Feast of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday: it includes the last days of Lent and the beginning of the Easter Triduum. During Holy Week, the Church celebrates the mysteries of salvation accomplished by Christ in the last days of his life on earth, beginning with his messianic entrance into Jerusalem. (Ordo)
We pray for contrite hearts and a humble spirit, uniting ourselves to our Lord’s suffering by praying “A Prayer for Holy Week”.
