Eternal Father,Your merciful gaze is turned upon all mankind,
all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus.
Dearest Jesus,
it is your nature to have mercy on us and forgive us.
From the treasury of your mercy, impart your graces
in great abundance to each of us,
especially those most in need.
You do not refuse the light of your love to those who seek you.
We place our trust in your infinite goodness.
Help us be open to accept your mercy freely,
and to live in it through your Holy Spirit.
Receive us into the home of your Most Merciful Heart!
Amen.

Kindergarten Fun at Tanganyika

Holy Week
Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, commemorates the triumphant arrival of Christ in Jerusalem, days before he was crucified.
Holy Thursday
Foot Washing - as Jesus did to his Apostles before the Last Supper
The procession of the Blessed Sacrament to the Altar of Repose - symbolizing Jesus' journey to the garden of Getheseme
Stripping the Altar
After the Holy Thursday Liturgy we "strip the altar" meaning we take everything out of the Sanctuary that we can. All statues and cloths and candles and everything that is movable leaving the altar area as bare as possible to best demonstrate the bareness of the cross and help us reflect on the emptiness of the world without Christ.
The Tabernacle is emptied and the door is left open.
Altar of Repose
Parishioner were invite to the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament until midnight, just as the disciples were invited to stay up with the Lord during His agony in the garden before His betrayal by Judas.Good Friday
"Behold the Wood of the Cross on Which Hung the Salvation of the World."
Allelujah, He Has Risen!
