Death and Rebirth – Holy Week Is A Lesson On Overcoming Obstacles

Holy Week - In silence we wait

The arrival of Holy Week draws in a time of introspection that forces us to look inward, using Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection as a means to overcome hardships. The death and rebirth of Jesus parallels the human experience: we are thrown difficult experiences throughout our lifetime that reshape our identity and change the way we overcome challenges. This symbolic ‘death’ of thought or belief can positively impact how we adapt to change. If Jesus has taught us anything, it is that when faced with adversity, we must exhibit strength and courage; it is ingrained in our Catholic faith.

As Mother Cabrini’s feast day, celebrated on November 13th of each year, quickly approaches, it poses the question: How can we celebrate Mother Cabrini, and actualize her teachings in our everyday lives? As the patron saint of immigrants, Mother Cabrini inspires us to open our hearts to everyone, especially those who are on the margins of society. Taking these teaching and applying them to our own lives doesn’t always mean being on the front lines helping immigrants as they arrive to the United States, but it is finding other ways to help that are just as, if not more, significant.
