Immerse yourself in the life of the church. We must identify ourselves as the people on the streets of Jerusalem singing Hosanna, we must ask ourselves if we are denying Christ through our own lives, we must as ourselves if we are betraying Christ through our words and deeds, we must weep as Christ walks with the weight of the cross on His shoulders, as He is spat upon the face, as He is ridiculed and lies naked on the Cross all for you and me!
Holy Week must be a personal experience. This is the most sacred and holiest week for us Orthodox Christians. We must teach our children, our loved ones, our colleagues the sacredness of this week in our own lives. The same discipline must resonate with us beyond Holy Week as well. Read the Holy Scriptures (see below), pray the prayers offered by the Church.
COME TO CHURCH!!! It's all in English! We will sit in the shadow of the Cross, and look upon Him, and listen to words of reflections throughout the week.
