It is approaching, whether or not you’re ready. There is no hiding from it. The weeks have rolled on with gathering speed. The statues and images now sit under veils of violet, and all seems quieter in expectation. Next week is Holy Week.

The student brothers of the Province of St. Joseph are praying for you, the readers of Dominicana, as the Church prepares for the holy days ahead. Beginning on Palm Sunday, in an effort to aid your contemplation of the Paschal Mystery, we will have a post for each day of Holy Week. Enjoy them, and may your hearts be open to the graces the Lord wants to give you, which he won for you out of unfathomable love.
