I look forward to seeing you there. What is a Holy Door? The Holy Door is a special part of the celebrations which take place during a Jubilee Year. The use of these doors dates back to at least 1475. It is a unique door in each of the Major Papal Basilicas in Rome which is ordinarily sealed with brick, but which is opened for Jubilee Years when pilgrims cross through it as a symbolic gesture. The symbolism of these doors comes from the ancient practice of offering sanctuary in churches to those who had run afoul of the law. Today, the Church remains a home for sinners and invites us to cross the Threshold of the Holy Door and open our hearts to receive the mercy of Christ. As not everyone can travel to Rome to cross the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica, The Most Reverend David O’Connell, CM, Bishop of Trenton, has designated a door at St. Katharine Drexel Parish, Burlington, to serve as a local Holy Door during the Jubilee of Mercy. In this way, greater numbers of the faithful may receive the fruits of the Jubilee offered according to the wishes of the Holy Father, Pope Francis.

Liturgical Bits & Bytes – Lenten Change Lent is about change. It calls us to change our attitudes; it calls us to change our habits; and it prays that God will change our hearts. Sometimes when we do things differently we can awaken the presence of God in our lives. Try this: tomorrow morning brush your teeth using your left hand (if you’re right-handed). You will immediately notice how much focus it requires. It’s the same with our worship. Sometimes we need to do things differently just to appreciate their meaning. That’s part of the reason for the change of liturgical seasons, a simple sign that we are willing to allow God to move us from wherever we are to wherever God wants us to be.
