PALM SUNDAY – APRIL 13th, 2014
HOLY WEEK COMMON SENSE
SENSO COMUNE PER LA SETTIMANA SANTA
During Holy Week a lot of Visitors come – maybe even
people who have been away for a while. Smile at them and
welcome them – would you come back if someone growled at
you?
In questi giorni della settimana santa, arriveranno persone
che sono in visita a San Francesco. Accoglieteli con gioia –
se non facciamo ambasciatori di Cristo, di chi saremo
ambasciatori?
You don’t own the pew – move in and happily make room.
Non siete padroni delle panche – date spazio alle altre
persone e siate gioiosi.
We ask you to obey the parking laws. Some consideration
will be given but if you park in front of a fire hydrant, a
driveway, a corner ramp, or if a fire truck can’t pass down a
street, there is very little anyone can do to forgive your ticket
 Use public transit as much as possible, especially on
Good Friday.
Venite con i mezzi pubblici. Le autorità cercano di dare
considerazione pero quando ci troviamo posteggiati davanti a
qualche rampa di casa o dell’angolo, la fontana dei vigili di
fuoco o i mezzi dell’ordine pubblico sono bloccati, nessun
santo ti può aiutare.
If your car gets towed during the Good Friday
Procession, please call 416 808 6600 to ask the Toronto
Police about where your car has been “relocated”. Have
your license number handy.
Se rimorchiano la tua vettura il venerdì santo, chiamate 416
808 6600 per chiedere alla polizia dove hanno spostato la tua
macchina. Ti chiederanno il numero della targa.
WHY ARE THE STATUES VEILED?
It is customary to veil devotional images and crosses from
the 5th Sunday of Lent until the Easter Vigil. This ancient
custom has much to commend in it terms of religious
psychology, because it helps us to concentrate on the great
essentials of Christ's work of Redemption.
Devotional
images will remain veiled until the Easter Vigil. The Cross
will be solemnly unveiled during the liturgy of Good Friday.

HOLY WEEK
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.
p.182 CCCB ORDO 2013-2014
NEEDS OF THE HOLY LAND – GOOD FRIDAY
This year, the Papal Collection for the Holy Places will be held
on Good Friday, April 18, 2014. We realize as a Church that
Jesus is the bread of life: “Whoever eats this bread will live
forever.” (John 6.51) By sharing in the upkeep of the Holy Land
and the mission of the Custody, we give witness to commit our
life to help others; the lives of our brothers and sisters in the
Holy Land. It is the assurance of a true friendship for LIFE.
By giving to the Holy Land, we strengthen our bond of
friendship with our fellow Christians who live in the land of
Jesus. We support the Christians who live there, eat there and
who are struggling and live in hope. This word of the Gospel is
an affirmation of the One who loved to the end. Our donation is
a step forward towards the awareness of others and an
invitation to change our relationship with the
Living.
With gratitude,
Gilles Bourdeau, OFM,
Commissary of the Holy Land in Canada
