Weekly Message from Fr. Rick:
The Haunting hymn “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?” asks a question that is at the very heart of this week we call Holy Week.
Because the answer to this question is very definitely
YES! We were there!
YES! I was there!
The American novelist William Faulkner famously wrote in his novel Requiem For A Nun, “ The past is never dead, it’s not even past ...” Not sure what Faulkner meant by that, but, in fact he hit upon a truth expressed not only during Holy Week but at each and every Mass all year long ... “The Past is never dead ....” And so, every time the Church celebrates Holy Mass, Christ’s Sacrifice is “made present” again in Mystery.
Christ died only once, but because He is the God/Man, Who He is and what He did transcends Time and Space .... “The Past is Never dead ....” This Holy Week 2020 remember Him who remembers you!
Fr. Rick
