Tenebrae Service – Sunday, March 29, 2015, 7:00pm at Infant Jesus Parish, St. Margaret’s Church, 845 Third St., Woodbury Heights, NJ
Next week is Palm Sunday, which begins Holy Week. As Christians, we must contemplate deeply the highest holy days of the year—Holy Thursday, Good Friday and, of course, Easter. Holy Week is a journey through darkness of the Passion into the light of the Resurrection. Traditionally, this journey has been prayerfully commemorated in two liturgical celebrations: Tenebrae and the Easter Vigil. Everyone can recall the sense of Christ’s triumph as the lights come on in glory at the Easter Vigil. Tenebrae, which is Latin for “the shadows,” is probably a less familiar experience. It helps us meditate on the darkness of Jesus’ Passion and death. It is not a Mass. Rather, Tenebrae is a somber prayer service that involves praying the Psalms, reflecting on Sacred Scripture, and the extinguishing of candles as the church is darkened. Infant Jesus Parish will celebrate Tenebrae at St. Margaret Church at 7 pm on Palm Sunday. Please join us. More importantly, join Jesus who says to each of us from Gethsemane: Could you not spend even one hour with me?
All are invited to this beautiful prayer service! Please spread the word and invite others to join Jesus as we meditate on His Passion and death as we enter into Holy Week.
