Passover and Holy Week
This coming week is a sacred week for Jews and Christians as we celebrate the feasts of Passover and the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. These celebrations, on the surface may seem to not have a lot in common, other than the fact that tradition holds that the Last Supper was held during Passover. However, both of these great feasts and traditions (along with many other traditions) celebrate the fact that God is a God of justice and faithfulness. We can rest in the fact that in the end God cares for us, more than we can possibly believe or understand. God desires our freedom and has worked and will continue to work through human history to call each of us to take the risk of stepping into a life of freedom.
Happy Passover!
Blessed Holy Week!

Times for Prayer and Reflection
We offer a variety of prayer opportunities on our campus --
The Meditation Room, Marian 204, is open for use by faculty, staff, and students. You may find it a great place to go for some quiet time, or you may wish to schedule a prayer group. The space is yours, let me know how I can be of assistance.
If you would like to make a prayer request you may do so through a direct e-mail to me chiggins@marylhurst.edu, by putting a note under my door -- Marian 202, by placing a request in one of the envelops located throughout the campus, or by posting a response to my blog.
Weekly Mass at noon on Mondays is at the heart of all we do at Marylhurst. We invite you to join us if you are able. Mass is also available at 11:00 Tuesday - Friday in the chapel at Mary's Woods. Mary's Woods has Sunday Mass at 11:00 -- for students involved in weekend classes here on campus.
How else can we meet your needs? Let me know and I'll see what I can do to be of service.
