Lenten Mission

Jon Konz
​"Hearing God Speak"
St. Norbert Church, 7:00pm

Am I just tossing words into Heaven when I pray? Am I praying correctly? If I am praying correctly, why doesn't God ever respond?

Most of us have asked questions like these at different times in our lives. As baptized Christians, we are called to an overwhelmingly intimate relationship with the God of the Universe. If this is true, we should be able to hear God speak. Through story and worship, discover time-tested, practical steps for hearing the voice of God more clearly in your life.

Holy Week | Triduum

The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery. The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.

Easter Vigil | April 11, 2020

On this holy night, the Church keeps watch, celebrating the resurrection of Christ in the sacraments and awaiting his return in glory. It is the turning point of the Triduum, the Passover of the new covenant, which marks Christ's passage from death to life. Therefore, the Easter Vigil does not correspond to the usual Saturday evening Mass and its character is unique in the cycle of the liturgical year.
