Growing in Grace Through Holy Week and Easter

Dear People of St. David’s, I pray that you and yours are well and that God is preparing you this season for the joy of the resurrection through God’s grace and goodness and love. Grace helps us be changed by God’s love to die to our former selves and rise again as the persons God created us to be.

Each year Christians all over the world walk the way of the Cross and Resurrection as the way to enter more deeply into the grace and love of God for us and for all people. These three holy days, or The Triduum, consist of Maundy Thursday, when Jesus instituted the Last Supper; Good Friday, when Jesus died on the cross; and Easter Sunday, when God raised Jesus from the dead and broke the hold of death forever.

I invite you to make a special commitment this year to walk the sacred journey of Holy Week and Easter. Jesus’ death and resurrection are at the very cornerstone of our faith as Christians. Together, we will reenact the mystery of our Lord’s passion and triumph, using the beautiful liturgies and times of quiet that open the way for God to touch our hearts and lives anew or for the first time.

Grace and Peace,

The Rev. W. Frank Allen, Rector
