When Jesus first teaches his disciples that he must suffer, be rejected and killed, then rise (Mk 8:31), the response is that this cannot be the way to something great. But Jesus remains committed to God’s way of doing things. Mark’s Passion story tells just how committed Jesus remains to God’s will, dying alone but awakening faith in a lone Roman centurion. This year we will hear Mark’s Passion on Palm Sunday. We will spend this day looking closely at how Mark tells of Jesus bearing his cross and what listening to what Mark writes means for our discipleship and picking up our cross.

Did you ever wonder what Jesus was teaching in His final days before His crucifixion? Jesus well understood the final days ahead often sharing with His disciples on several occasions that He must die. He knew the day and hour of His upcoming death.

No doubt, Jesus considered his final teachings to be the most important. Teachings He wanted to reemphasize so they would pass the test of time.

You are invited to join us to examine these final teachings of Jesus with Father Scott Hastings and Father Padraic Stack. We will look at the week prior to Holy Week to reflect on these last teachings from Jesus in the synagogue. Join us for one OR both evenings to grow your relationship with Our Lord. This event is held on Monday, March 22nd, and Wednesday, March 24th.

You can attend in person or visit the CEC Omaha Website or Facebook page for a link to the Live Stream broadcast. Due to Covid constraints, preregistration will be required to attend in person. Please visit www.CECOmaha.org after March 1st to register.

Palm Sunday is in commemoration of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem in the last week before He was arrested and crucified. People lined His path, or waved palm branches, a symbol at the time of victory. This entry is believed by Christians to have been prophesied in Zechariah.

Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter. Christians remember it as the day of the Last Supper, when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples and established the ceremony known as the Eucharist.

The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ’s Paschal Mystery. The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.

The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:

Mass of the Lord’s Supper (Holy Thursday)
Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion (Good Friday)
Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord (Holy Saturday)

Good Friday is not a holy day of obligation as there are no Masses from Holy Thursday until Easter.  It is a day of fasting and abstinence. For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.
