Deaf House of Character
Holy Week in the Catholic Church is an important time of year. We contemplate the life of our Lord Jesus Christ. We journey with him in Jerusalem to see him arrested, questioned, beaten, scourged, take up the cross, and die for us. Every ounce of life in him gives testimony to the truth. The truth he utters is born of love. Our Lord’s love perpetually flows from his heart and actions. It stems from the triune Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus’ life is a life of character. So we need to discern whether our Deaf house of character stems from our Lord or not.
We can reflect upon a few questions together as the week progresses. First and foremost, Do I know the 10 commandments? Do I follow the 10 commandments? Do I frequent the sacraments often? Have I received absolution of my sins from a priest this Lent? Do I love others in the same fashion that our Lord loves us? Do we treat others harshly? Am I grateful to others? Have I expressed thanks by saying thank you this past week? Do I say thank you to God for my life? Do I thank Jesus for giving me the way of life to follow?
Holy Week is very special. It is a sacred time of year and we extend our invitation to you to join our worship services. The Diocese of Orange Catholic Deaf Community strives to promote a Deaf House of Character.
