Lent's final days

The entire week between Palm Sunday and Holy Saturday is included in Holy Week, and some church traditions have daily services during the week. However, usually only Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday are times of special observance in most churches.

From Monday to Thursday we can live our Lenten promises with particular intensity until on Thursday evening we begin the great Triduum.

Daily Eucharistic worship is common with more readings of the Passion narratives.

A good confession in Holy Week is recommended. The Sacrament of Reconciliation helps in closure of Lent and preparation for Easter. We are called in Christ to pass from our sins to new life.
