Easter is fast approaching... however it is not too late to prepare yourself spiritually during these last few days of Lent! Here are some tips to help you the make the most of Holy Week:
* Go to Confession: Easter is traditionally the time that Catholics make sure they make a good confession in preparation to receive Communion on Easter Sunday. Click here to read about the need to make an annual confession.
* Attend an Easter Triduum: The Easter Triduum is a series of Holy Week services, beginning on the evening of Holy Thursday, and ending Easter Day, commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Here is a beautiful reflection, by Pope Benedict XVI, on the Holy Triduum of Easter in 2009.
* Penance on Good Friday: On Good Friday, Catholics should remember to fast and to abstain from meat. It is also a good idea to commemorate the Lord's Passion on this day, by praying the Way of the Cross at your parish.
