Holy Week is often a difficult time for Christians who need to live their lives in a largely secular society. On one level, we know that this is the most important week of the year. It is a time when our Lenten disciplines reach a crescendo. At the same time, it seems that everyone around us is living their normal lives – and they expect that we are doing the same thing.

So, then, how do we observe Holy Week properly in the midst of those who do not believe in its importance?

To assist our listeners, we bring you a marvelous article written by the founder of the international TFP movement, Professor Plinio Correa de Olivera. Professor Plinio left us with hundreds of articles, written over a long and active life. There was virtually no part of Christian life on which he did not write.

We pray that you will be blessed by this reading of Professor Plinio’s 1947 essay “Embracing Christ and the Cross: What Does it Mean?”
