As we prepare for the Easter Triduum (the time of the Church year when we celebrate the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ), our friends at Busted Halo provide plenty of resources to accompany you during Holy Week and help you conclude your Lenten journey.

You can learn more about Busted Halo - a Paulist Fathers ministry - by visiting www.bustedhalo.com. You can also meet Executive Director Fr. Dave Dwyer, C.S.P. (also the First Consultor on our presidential board) and Associate Director Fr. Evan Cummings, C.S.P. (also associate pastor of the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City) by visiting www.paulist.org/meet-the-paulists.

• WATCH: Holy Week in Three Minutes: Why do Catholics wave palms on Palm Sunday, wash each other’s feet on Holy Thursday, or kiss the cross on Good Friday? In an updated version of this classic video (with a bonus extra minute — because there’s a lot going on this week!), Busted Halo explains the significance of the final week we spend preparing for Easter.

• Your Essential Guide to the Triduum: The Triduum is somewhat like a three-day prayer marathon, and if you are a novice there may be some rituals that are unfamiliar to you. This guide will help you walk and pray through the liturgies of the Triduum.

• Why Does God Allow Suffering? Examining Faith and Hardship with Dr. Mark Giszczak: Lent is a fitting time to reflect on life’s struggles, and Fr. Dave welcomes Dr. Mark Giszczak to discuss his new book “Suffering: What Every Catholic Should Know.” Dr. Giszczak is a professor of Sacred Scripture at the Augustine Institute Graduate School of Theology.

• Love Amidst Pain: A Reflection on the Journey to Calvary Through Mary’s Eyes: Amid Mary’s great Passion-related sorrows, we can find consolation, just as in the middle of a dark night, we find illumination in the stars. That consolation is that Jesus could see Mary standing there along the road to Calvary.

We hope these most-holy days will bring you peace, inspiration & strength as you continue your discernment journey.

Ed Nowak, C.S.P., or know someone who would make a great Paulist priest, please contact Fr. Ed at vocations@paulist.org or at (917) 763-7899.
