A Pause That Refreshes

This morning, the students, faculty, staff and guests at Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts, paused to reflect as a school community on the events of Holy Thursday and Good Friday. There was a symbolic washing of the feet of a member of each class and a solemn veneration of the cross with the appropriate gospel passages as a background.  Silence prevailed as we left the gymnasium to the tolling of a single chime.  It was a gifted moment of peace in our hectic life, and an opportunity to put the coming week in perspective.   There's a huge benefit in pausing now and then to reflect on the things that really matter.  Today would be a good day to begin Holy Week by such a preparation.
