Hey everyone,
We hope that your Holy Week is full of many blessings and deep grace.
The above picture depicts just a few of the things Jesus has been up to this week. There are many interesting ways that we portray Jesus, especially during Holy week. Pray that your heart may be open to an authentic Jesus this week.
In that spirit, we would like to invite you to join us for worship this week at St. Joseph's Pro-Cathedral. There are many opportunities to see our great parish community prayerful and alive.
When Jesus came to Golgotha, they hanged Him on a tree,
They drove great nails through hands and feet, and made a Calvary;
They crowned Him with a crown of thorns, red were His wounds and deep,
For those were crude and cruel days, and human flesh was cheap.
When Jesus came to [Camden], they simply passed Him by.
They would not hurt a hair of Him, they only let Him die;
For men had grown more tender, and they would not give Him pain,
They only just passed down the street, and left Him in the rain.
Still Jesus cried, ‘Forgive them, for they know not what they do, ‘
And still it rained the winter rain that drenched Him through and through;
The crowds went home and left the streets without a soul to see,
And Jesus crouched against a wall, and cried for Calvary.

As you no doubt know, Holy Week is a time for somber reflection on Jesus' last days on earth. So we leave you with a powerful poem adapted for our place and time:
When Jesus came to Golgotha, they hanged Him on a tree,
They drove great nails through hands and feet, and made a Calvary;
They crowned Him with a crown of thorns, red were His wounds and deep,
For those were crude and cruel days, and human flesh was cheap.
When Jesus came to [Camden], they simply passed Him by.
They would not hurt a hair of Him, they only let Him die;
For men had grown more tender, and they would not give Him pain,
They only just passed down the street, and left Him in the rain.
Still Jesus cried, ‘Forgive them, for they know not what they do, ‘
And still it rained the winter rain that drenched Him through and through;
The crowds went home and left the streets without a soul to see,
And Jesus crouched against a wall, and cried for Calvary.
