Did You Know?
Why does the priest wash people’s feet on Holy Thursday?
On Holy Thursday, a foot washing ritual is incorporated into Mass. Although optional, most parishes choose to do it. We see
in John: 13 that Jesus Himself washes the feet of His apostles. The Church imitates this on Holy Thursday.
To wash someone’s feet is a symbol of humble service. This was something that was in the ancient world, a task usually
reserved for the slave of the house. When Jesus washed the feet of His apostles He said, “If I then, your Lord and Teacher,
have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do as
I have done to you” (Jn. 13:14-15).
On Holy Thursday in the upper room Jesus was teaching and molding our first Bishops. Not only did Jesus teach them to be
in the service of others, He also instituted the sacrament of Holy Orders, the priesthood, and the sacrament of the Most Holy
Eucharist.
The Catholic Catechism states, “The Lord, having loved those who were his own, loved them to the end. Knowing that the
hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father, in the course of a meal he washed their feet and gave them the
commandment to love. In order to leave them a pledge of this love, in order never to depart from his own and to make them
sharers in his Passover, he instituted the Eucharist as the memorial of his death and Resurrection, and commanded his
apostles to celebrate it until His return; thereby He constituted them priests of the New Testament.” CCC #1337
Live the Liturgy—Inspiration for the Week
What an ironic twist of events! Jesus is hailed with palm branches as he comes down a street one minute and faces agonizing
suffering and death on a cross the next. Does any of this make any sense? They shouted, “hosanna to our King,” out of one
side of their mouths and, “crucify him,” out of the other. At first glance it seems like such hypocrisy. Yet, when we step back
there may be more truth to the story than we care to admit. We struggle with Jesus. We hail him in our churches but struggle
to figure out what to do with him on our streets. We are fine when we hear pious renderings of his messages and preaching
but wince when it gets to the part about changing the way we conduct business and becoming more sensitive to the
disadvantaged, poor and marginalized. We invoke God’s name when we want victory and keep silence when it comes to
global solidarity. We talk out of both sides of our mouths too, looking only to what works or suits us at the time and leaving
the rest. There exists in each one of us a person who hails our King with hosannas and a person who is all too willing to
choose Jesus over Barabbas for the cross. Something to think about this Holy Week!
ANNOUNCING THE 2021 HOLY WEEK & EASTER LITURGY IN ST. ISIDORE PARISH
(Holy Week ceremonies & Easter celebrations will observe RCAB guidelines;
same environment that we have been celebrating Mass in).
Holy Week, the most solemn week in the Roman Catholic calendar,
begins this weekend with Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord.
The Sacred Paschal Triduum encompasses the ceremonies of Holy Thursday of the Lord’s Supper,
Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion and Easter Vigil in the Holy Night of the Lord’s Resurrection.
The joyous celebration of Easter Sunday ushers in the Easter Season.
Those who wish to attend will need to register once the links are up at the usual registration
website: https://cranberrycatholic.weshareonline.org/ or they may call the parish office at 508-947-0444.
Although the Cardinal’s dispensation from attending Mass during the pandemic is still in place,
parish volunteers work religiously to keep our worship sites safe for those who plan to attend.
Hints:
Palm Sunday: regular weekend Mass Schedule:
� Palms: Blessing of the Palms will be blessed in front of the altar. People will be in their pews. People will not be given a
palm at the start of Mass and there will be no procession with the people. Simple procession will be from the sacristy by clergy.
Palms will be in front of the altar and will remain there after blessing. After Mass, two ushers with sanitized hands will be at
the doors to hand out the blessed palms as people leave.
� Passion: a member of the clergy will read the Passion instead of three persons.

Good Friday Collection—April 2nd
Holy Land Shrines
Good Friday’s collection for the Holy Land is,
in the words of Paul VI, “not only for the
Holy Places but above all for those pastoral,
charitable, educational, and social works
which the Church supports in the Holy Land
for the welfare of their Christian brethren
and of the local communities.
Easter Collection
Clergy Health & Retirement Trust
Next week, at all our Easter Masses, our only collection will
be to support the retirement, medical and financial needs of
priests of the Archdiocese of Boston. On behalf of all of our
priests, thank you in advance for your generosity. For more
information, please visit www.clergytrust.org
Divine Mercy
Divine Mercy Sunday is fast approaching. The feast of Divine Mercy is on the second Sunday of
Easter. But what is Divine Mercy? How do we receive the promise of forgivingness of sin and its
punishment? What are some of the devotions to Divine Mercy? If you would like the answer to
these questions and more, look on the St. Isidore parish website at
https://cranberrycatholic.org/
Click on Divine Mercy and you will find an explanation along with five very important parts of
Divine Mercy. They are referred to as F.I.N.C.H. which stands for feast, image, novena, chaplet,
and hour. Some of the devotions begin on Good Friday so check it out now to get a head start.
