Jolt of Faith 4/17 – How to Truly Make Holy Week 2025 Holy — Don’t Miss This

Holy Week isn’t just a commemoration of events that happened 2,000 years ago—it’s an invitation to transformation right now. As we enter the holiest week of the year, we’re called not just to remember what Jesus did, but to allow it to change us.

In this reflection, you’ll be reminded that Holy Week is meant to be lived—not just observed. From Palm Sunday through the Triduum to Easter, we are invited to pray more, give more, and show up more fully to the beautiful mystery of our salvation.

Let Holy Week 2025 be more than a date on the calendar. Let it be the week that changes you.

Jolt of Faith 4/17 – How to Truly Make Holy Week 2025 Holy — Don’t Miss This

This week is Holy Week, the holiest week of the year. The week that we remember and celebrate all that Jesus did for our salvation, from His entry in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, what will culminate on the great celebration of Easter. And Holy Week has often been described as the week that changed history, which indeed it did. Because by His death and resurrection, Jesus put an end to sin and death and reconciled us to God and gave us hope for eternal life. But the tendency and the mistake we can make during Holy Week is just to celebrate what happened two thousand years ago in Jerusalem. We celebrate what Holy Week changed long ago rather than allowing Holy Week to change us. 

And my friends, we need to intentionally make this week Holy by praying more, being more generous, being there for the Triduum, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, at the Easter Vigil, all those wonderful and beautiful services the church has, are ways to help draw us in to the great mystery to make this a Holy Week for ourselves as well. As we enter into Holy Week 2025, let’s make sure it’s not just a date on the calendar, a date that we remember things that did happen.  

But to allow Holy Week to truly touch us, change us, make us Holy as we celebrate the things that God can continue to do in each of us as well.Not a sermon, not a homily, but that little Jolt of Faith we all can use.
