Maundy Thursday, we make memorial of the Last Supper or the institution of the Eucharist. The Apostles made their first communion, and became the new priests of Jesus Christ, the Eternal Priest.
Recently, ten children from Abraham Montessori school made their first communion, prepared by the sisters during the year. They had a last recollection the day before the Big Day. Thanks be to God for this beautiful sacrament of love!

Holy Week has started with Palm Sunday🌴
Jesus arrives in Jerusalem, riding a humble 🫏, people acclaim Him as King and lay their cloths on the road before him👕👗👚
We, too, bring our palms, to acclaim our divine King, our Savior!
Few pictures of the celebration!

Palm sunday marks the beginning of the Holy Week, leading to the Hightest Solemnity of our faith: Easter.
From the Passion to death and to Resurrection.
"Let us accompany Him as He hastens toward Jerusalem, and imitate those who met Him then, not by covering Hispath with garments, olive branches or palms, but by doing all we can to prostrate ourselves before Him by being humble and by trying to live as He would wish." (from a sermon by Saint Andrew of Crete, bishop)
