Holy Week means accompanying Christ through His Passion. This has become an even greater challenge while many of us are sheltering in place amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. But the promise of redemption through Christ's resurrection still call to us. Today, we are joined by liturgist and Liturgy Guys podcast host Christopher Carstens to discuss how we can get through Holy Week in the midst of a pandemic. To get deeper into the subject of the Easter Mysteries, check Mr. Carstens's latest books, A Devotional Journey into the Easter Mystery, which is available from Sophia Institute Press.
