Good Friday - Today is a day of solemn reflection, marking the day Jesus willingly suffered and died on the cross for our salvation; Good Friday invites us to contemplate the immense love and sacrifice that Christ made for humanity, offering us forgiveness and the promise of eternal life.
Vendredi saint - Aujourd'hui est un jour de réflexion solennelle, marquant le jour où Jésus a volontairement souffert et est mort sur la croix pour notre salut. Le Vendredi saint nous invite à contempler l'immense amour et le sacrifice que le Christ a fait pour l'humanité, nous offrant le pardon et la promesse de la vie éternelle.
Holy Thursday - On this sacred day, we commemorate the Last Supper, where Jesus shared His Body and Blood with His disciples, instituting the Eucharist as the central sacrament of our faith and giving us the commandment to love and serve one another. Today Jesus also exemplifies the importance of being humble through the act of washing the disciples feet.
Jeudi Saint - En ce jour sacré, nous commémorons la dernière Cène, où Jésus a partagé son corps et son sang avec ses disciples, instituant l'Eucharistie comme le sacrement central de notre foi et nous donnant le commandement de nous aimer et de nous servir les uns les autres. Aujourd'hui, Jésus illustre également l'importance de l'humilité en lavant les pieds de ses disciples.
Palm Sunday commemorates the entrance of Christ into Jerusalem, during which palm branches were placed in his path, before his arrest on Holy Thursday and his crucifixion on Good Friday. It thus marks the beginning of Holy Week, the final week of Lent.
Le dimanche des Rameaux commémore l'entrée du Christ à Jérusalem, au cours de laquelle des branches de palmier ont été placées sur son chemin, avant son arrestation le Jeudi saint et sa crucifixion le Vendredi saint. Il marque ainsi le début de la Semaine Sainte, la dernière semaine du Carême.

Sunday Gospel - The lesson from this parable is that, the owner of the fig trees wanted to chop it down as it was not producing fruit, Jesus tells him to give the tree one more year. Explaining that God is merciful and will delay judgement, always giving us time to repent and follow Him, but we need to ensure we do repent regularly and come to follow Him.
Évangile du dimanche - La leçon de cette parabole est que le propriétaire du figuier voulait le couper parce qu'il ne produisait pas de fruits, mais Jésus lui dit de donner à l'arbre une année de plus. Il explique que Dieu est miséricordieux et retarde le jugement, nous donnant toujours le temps de nous repentir et de le suivre, mais nous devons nous assurer que nous nous repentons régulièrement et que nous le suivons.

Sunday Gospel - March 9th
Today we are reminded that no matter how often and intensely we are tempted to sin, we can overcome those temptations when we rely on God rather than on ourselves alone. God is always with us, and will never leave us.
Aujourd'hui, il nous est rappelé que, quelles que soient la fréquence et l'intensité des tentations de pécher, nous pouvons les surmonter lorsque nous nous appuyons sur Dieu plutôt que sur nous-mêmes. Dieu est toujours avec nous et ne nous abandonnera jamais.
