Lent
Begins Ash Wednesday (February 17, 2010) and lasts until Holy Thursday (April 1, 2010) evening.
Lent is a special time when we look at the meaning of Jesus' life for us today. It is a time for us to consider how we might more closely follow Jesus in our life my making choices to give up the things that keep us from being better disciples, and give of ourselves in caring for others as Jesus would.
The Paschal Triduum begins on Holy Thursday and lasts until evening prayer on Easter Sunday.
The Triduum focuses on the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. It is the three-day high point of the liturgical year when we "walk" with Jesus through his passion and resurrection.
