pre-Passion Week

Mass
Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Lent 24 March 2010

  • In the Hymn we sang the words:
  • The King of Kings, and Lord of Lords,
  • and heaven’s eternal light.
  • The Days of Holy Week are well mapped out for each days of Palm Sunday to Easter.
  • The pre-Passion Week days, the Fifth Week of Lent, are also mapped out clearly, the movements of Jesus located between Mt. Olives and the Temple, and the hours named in Chapter 8 of St. John’s Gospel.
  • Sunday, Jn. 8:1, the Mount of Olives, but early in the morning in the temple areas. (The Woman taken in Adultery, 1-11).
  • Monday, Jn. 8:12’Jesus spoke to then again, saying “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me …. Will have the light of life”. (The Light of the World 12-59).
  • The tone is set in the Preface of the Weekday Mass of the Fifth Week of Lent
  • The suffering and death of your Son
  • brought life to the whole world,
  • moving our hearts to praise your glory.
  • The power of the cross reveals your judgment on this world
  • and the kingship of Christ crucified.

For the Penitential Rite we sing the special Lent invocation:
