The Holy Week Encounters began in Toledo, Spain. They were organized by a group of young people of the Home of the Mother who wanted to live Holy Week in an atmosphere of greater reflection and profound joy. As the Home of the Mother grew larger, so also the Holy Week Encounters grew with it. Each year more people come to live Holy Week with the Home, attracted by the spirit of reflection and recollection. Everyone of all ages and states of life is invited to come to the Holy Week Encounter in the United States.
From Holy Thursday until Easter Sunday, we join together to celebrate the passion, death, and resurrectionof Our Lord. We have talks, meditations for prayer, daily mass, the rosary, daily adoration, the way of the cross, and meals together. On Saturday night we have the Easter Vigil, rejoicing that the Light of the world has come. The Home is a family, and we try to live this time intensely focused on the gift and mystery of our redemption.
