Dear League Sisters and Spiritual Advisors,
As we journey together through Holy Week, our hearts are drawn ever more deeply into the mystery of Christ’s Passion, Death, and glorious Resurrection. These sacred days—the Triduum—invite us to pause, to reflect, and to stand in awe before the immense love God has for each one of us.
On Holy Thursday, we witness Christ’s humility and servant heart at the Last Supper. On Good Friday, we kneel before the Cross, knowing that by His wounds, we are healed. And on Holy Saturday, we wait in silence and hope, preparing to rejoice with Mary Magdalene and the disciples at the empty tomb on Easter morning.
Alleluia! He is Risen!
Let this be the cry of our hearts, the foundation of our faith, and the inspiration for our continued service in The Catholic Women’s League. As women “Sparkling God’s Way” and as Spiritual Advisors who guide and shepherd us, may we carry the light of the Resurrection into every encounter, radiating Christ’s hope, peace, and love to a world in need.
Thank you, dear Sisters, for your unwavering faith, your spirit of sisterhood, and your commitment to living out the Gospel in action. Thank you, dear Spiritual Advisors, for your prayerful presence and spiritual guidance, especially in these holy days.
Easter Blessing:
May the Risen Christ roll away every stone that weighs upon your heart.
May His triumph over the grave fill you with renewed hope.
May His light guide your path, and His love overflow in all you do.
And may Mary, Our Lady of Good Counsel, wrap you in her motherly care
as we continue our journey together in faith.
Wishing you and your loved ones a sacred Holy Week, a blessed Triduum, and a joy-filled Easter morning!
In the hope and light of the Resurrection,
Teresa
