10 ways to make Holy Week more meaningful:

1. Add Prayer If you have to work or go to school during Holy Week, think about how you can incorporate prayer breaks into each day, set yourself a reminder to pray
2. Sacrifice by fasting and abstaining from meat on Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday in addition to Good Friday.
3. Replace television to a holy podcast or blog from sundown on Holy Thursday until Easter morning.
4. Go to confession.
5. Set aside 10 minutes every day to read the daily readings
6. Pray the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary.
7. Offer up any pain or difficulties you experience during Holy Week and unite your sufferings with the pain of Christ.
8. Pray the Stations of the Cross.
9. Attend all of the Triduum liturgies.

Have a blessed Holy Week,

Thank you,

Mary
