Once again, a glorious Holy Week is approaching. As always, the dates commemorating the Holy Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ are the same as every year, from the 20th to the 27th of March. Palm Sunday is commemorated on March 20th. Holy Thursday is commemorated on March 24th. Good Friday is commemorated on March 25th, and Easter Sunday on March 27th. God willing, and weather permitting, the Solemn Processions will take place outside the Church, in front of the Great Cathedral of the Holy Palmarian Church in El Palmar de Troya, Seville, Spain. This year will be even more glorious than in previous years because the procession route will be better illuminated, allowing the floats and sacred images to be seen more clearly. Videos and photographs can be taken with ample light to capture the true beauty of all that is happening. Every year, a great improvement can be seen in Palmarian Holy Week.
For those who wish to see the interior of the Cathedral Basilica of Our Crowned Mother of Palmar, entry will be permitted starting at 20:00, allowing visitors to explore the interior of the Cathedral. Visits inside must end by 20:45 to avoid obstructing the start of the procession. From March 20th until Holy Saturday, March 26th, visits will be permitted, as mentioned above, from 20:00 onwards. As always, visitors must be dressed in accordance with the Norms of Palmarian Christian Decency which can be found on our website. As always, admission is free.
In these times of war in which we live, it is crucial that we lift our eyes to God and seek refuge in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and in the Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart of Mary. With so many terrible images of bombs and missiles, we need to rest our eyes and ears from what is happening in the world and focus on spiritual things. We must recognize that God is severely chastising the world through these wars. We must realise that the prophecies are being fulfilled. Above all, we must trust in God and always live in His presence. Remember that not a single hair will fall from your head without God’s permission. This means that nothing can happen to you unless God allows it to happen. That is why it is absolutely necessary to make friendship with God a priority above all else. To be a friend of God is to love Jesus, His Onlybegotten Son who died on the Cross for us. That is why Palmarian Holy Week is of such great importance, because during this week the Church has Divine Worship to remember all that Jesus suffered for us. The Church also does not forget the sufferings that the Most Holy Virgin Mary endured alongside Jesus, especially at the foot of the Cross on Calvary.
We must penetrate into the mystery of friendship with Christ, the Son of God. Without His permission, as we have already said, not a single hair on your head will fall, so it is only logical to have Him as a friend, so that He may watch over you in a very special way. We know that Christ also allows His friends to suffer in order to gain merit, so that they may obtain Heaven, but the difference is that the friends of Jesus know how to suffer with joy and Christian resignation. When we endure suffering in this way, it becomes much easier to bear. For the friends of Christ, suffering does not take away peace of the soul, nor does it make the soul less happy interiorly. Divine Wisdom teaches us to love Jesus and to not offend Him in any way, but to devote ourselves to always seeking the glory of God and the good of souls. These are extremely important reasons to enter the True Church of Christ, which is the Palmarian Catholic Church. A soul without the Holy Ghost is a soul devoid of Heaven. That is why the Palmarian Church carries out its apostolate via the internet to help souls find the True Church and be able to live in the State of Grace, which is to have the Kingdom of Heaven within their soul. We have great success in spreading the news of the True Church of Christ. A great many people see our publications, and thus they are given the opportunity to embrace the true Faith and leave behind the false religions that only give glory to the devil. The devil is content as long as no one enters the True Church of Christ. He does not care whether you are roman catholic or protestant, or of any other religion. As long as no one enters the True Church, the devil doesn’t become so enraged.
Our apostolate, via the internet and by other means, is our way of seeking friends for Christ, of seeking out people with the necessary good dispositions to become part of the True Church, so that, through the reception of the Holy Sacraments, they may lead a holy and Christian life. Through a life of virtue, a Palmarian Catholic saves many souls and greatly helps the souls in Purgatory.
The Holy Palmarian See in El Palmar de Troya, Spain is the model to which we should look in order to imitate what is done there. Also known as the Sacred Place of the Apparitions of El Palmar de Troya, it is a place dedicated to prayer and penance. A great number of Holy Masses are celebrated there daily, giving immense glory to God. In this Sacred Place, where many friars and nuns live dedicated to prayer and penance, God’s punishments are greatly mitigated. The many wars throughout the world are punishments from God for the many sins of humanity, but thanks to the prayer and penance in El Palmar de Troya, these punishments are much less severe. Likewise, the prayer and penance of the faithful scattered throughout the world please God, so that He does not punish the world as much as it deserves. To safeguard oneself from God’s punishments, it would be important to establish prayer groups where the Holy Penitential Rosary is prayed daily, as taught by the Holy Palmarian Church. This Holy Rosary is so pleasing to God that it brings great benefits to the parts of the world where it is prayed, especially when a number of people gather to pray it.
It would be of great benefit to each person’s soul to find a way to attend Palmarian Holy Week to see the beautiful floats, artistically decorated with an abundance of flowers, and, in general, everything that contributes to making the liturgy and Divine Worship more sublime. All of this is a visible sign of our gratitude to the Creator. There, we especially remember Christ and His Most Holy Mother, the Virgin Mary, for the terrible sufferings they endured on Calvary to obtain our redemption, save our souls, and open the gates of Heaven to us. This Holy Week, it would also be a shame to miss the opportunity to see the interior of the beautiful Church and its exquisitely adorned altars. Remember that the Holy Palmarian Church is wide open to all those who truly love God and His Most Holy Mother, and who desire with all their heart and above all else the salvation of souls. Visit Them in Their House, observe all the expressions of love and devotion shown to Them by those present, and you will recognize Their undeniable presence in this Sacred Place.
