"Top 10 Ways to spend Holy Week"

I received this in an e-mail from a friend of mine. She is a consecrated in the Regnum Christi movement... So here are the "Top 10 Ways to spend Holy Week."


1. Take 10 minutes to read a Passion narrative from the
Gospel.

2. Look in your parish bulletin to find an extra Holy
Week activity you could attend (and invite a friend to
go with you).

3.Invite a friend to go to mass with you on Holy
Thursday,Good Friday, or Easter.

4. Pray the stations of the cross on Good Friday.

5.At three o’clock on Friday, take a moment of silence
to reflect on the mystery of our redemption from sin
and how much God loves you.

6.Offer up listening to music on Good Friday and Holy
Saturday in order to unite yourself. with the Church
in mourning the death of Christ.

7.Prepare a good confession and go in order to have
a heart ready to receive Christ back on Easter.

8.Pray a decade or more of the Rosary on Holy
Saturday to accompany Our Lady after burying her
Son.

9.Listen well to the readings in Mass and ask the
HolySpirit to touch your heart.

10.Make Easter a spiritual holiday by reminding
someone of the real meaning of it.
