Ladies and gentlemen,
Time to brake.
The planet around us runs at a crazy pace, and we with it: many and many of us have quite a few unfinished business, and even unresolved problems, and chases to solve them all.
But we have begun the Holy Week, and the Passover Triduum is about to begin—the days in which we will experience the memory of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus.
Therefore, I encourage all Catholics to organize the next fewer days so as to last this time as best and as efficiently as possible.
And as in erstwhile years, the Center of Life and household wants to aid you with this.
I encourage you to download a peculiar prayer book “Don’t Leave Him!”which we have prepared specially for our friends.
We prepared it and made it public for the first time 5 years ago, in 2020, when, due to the restrictions introduced, not everyone could participate in the liturgy of Triduum in the temples. Thank God the situation has changed and the difficulties in access to the sacraments have been abolished.
Therefore, I encourage you to make the best of this time, so that in the religion of outward preparation you do not lose the most crucial things: sharing in the Passion and Resurrection in prayer with the Lord Jesus.
In the prayer book “Do not leave Him!” you will find:
- liturgical texts for each day;
- Bitter Regret text;
- consideration of the Cross Road written by St. John Paul II on Good Friday 1984;
- the division of hours according to the Lord's Passion Clock;
- New Year's text before the Holy of Mercy;
- Holy texts helping in appropriate preparation for receiving Holy Communion.
The prayer book can be easy downloaded from the website NoOpuscGo.pl, and then print in the form of affordable 4 books, each for 1 day the Paschal Triduum.
First of all, I encourage you to participate in the liturgy in the church these days. The frequent visitation of the church and the prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, which is actually present in the Tabernacle, in the darkroom and in the conventional grave, is besides of large spiritual value.
I am besides asking you to aid spread our prayer book.
I know that there are people among us who, for various reasons – specified as illness or work – cannot personally go to church all day to full experience the liturgy during the Passover Triduum. You may besides have specified persons among your relatives or friends. The prayer book “Do not leave Him!” is addressed especially to specified people.
In the meantime, I want you a fruitful experience of this holy time, and above all, that we may be able to focus on the most crucial things: the enduring of prayer in the coexistence of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord.
I warmly greet you.
