Message: The Church is Preparing Now to Enter Its Own "Passion Week"
Lord, you spoke at Mass this morning that the Church, the Body of Christ is commemorating with you at this time in the Lenten Season, "Passion Week". Then you said, "Similar to the first "Passion Week", now the Body of Christ is likewise heading into a final conflict between good and evil. The Church is preparing to enter a dark time, its own “Passion Week” - conflict, suffering and death. Humankind will suffer as sin culminates in its own self-destruction. For those that live through it, Easter morning is your only hope, as the Resurrection was for Me on "Good Friday."

“Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was
crucified. He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place
where he lay. Go quickly now and tell his disciples that he has risen
from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will
see him. So they departed quickly from the tomb with
fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them
and said, “Hail!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to
Galilee, and there they will see me.” Matthew 28:7-10
