This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.
Beginning with Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating in the Paschal Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, followed by Good Friday, and reaching its pinnacle in the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night. This week is a time of reflection for Christians to memorialize Jesus’ crucifixion—and to prepare their hearts, minds, and souls for His miraculous Resurrection from the dead.
During this sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross. In His final hours on Earth, Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture, and execution on the cross out of a deep and abiding love for all His creation. Through His suffering, we have redemption. Through His death, we are forgiven of our sins. Through His Resurrection, we have hope of eternal life. On Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and light prevails over darkness—signaling that death does not have the final word.

Yes. Contrast that with the rainbow lighting scheme and “Day of Transgender Visibility” brought to us by the godless reprobate criminal pedophile who last inhabited the WH.
We are enjoying an amazing trend of improvements.
Amen! Nearly unbelievable in this day and age.
God bless the Trump and Vance families and keep them safe. We need holy warriors and God fearing men in office. There are too many of the other kind.
Great to see coming from the White House.
Well said.
[[We are enjoying an amazing trend of improvements.]]
We sure are. ItS just a shame though that thr left are so evil that all the improvements really piss them off so much, to the point of wanting violence agaisnt the pres and musk- but we at ,east get to enjoy 4 years of amazing improvements as you say-and hop3fully 12 more years or more! I hope the country has had enouhg of the evil democrats, and that it swings heavily republican for a good long time.
Amen.
It’s nice to have a real president who isn’t afraid to say Jesus
This year, Orthodox and Western Holy Week and Pascha (Easter) fall on he same dates.
So it is especially important that we get this message from the President this week!
I remember that too! What a difference a year makes.
PRAISE THE LORD!
Bkmk
AXIOS!
The first universal Pascha in ELEVEN years!
Glory to God, this will repeat every third year for the next decade.
Lord, as You were coming to Your Passion,
You took Your disciples aside and spoke to them privately to strengthen them.
“How have you forgotten the words that I said to you before,
that according to the Scriptures no prophet should be killed except in Jerusalem?
The time of which I spoke to You is now at hand.
Behold, I am betrayed into the hands of sinners,
to be mocked by them.
They will nail me to a cross and hand me over to be buried,
and they will consider me an abomination,
because I will be dead.
But you, take courage,
for I will rise on the third day,
bringing the faithful exultant joy and eternal life.”
