CATHOLIC CHCRCH, IN TOWANDA.— The holy week, or the week before Eas ter, was anciently called the Painful We-k, or week of austerities, but it is now generally distinguished by tbe name of Holy Week, or the Great Week, on account of the merciful and great tilings wrought by GOD, and which we commemora'e in it. St. Epiphanius assures us, that Christians, who had least fervour and zeal only eat bread with a little salt, and drank water once a day, at evening, all the week, and the more devout continued their last for two, three, or four days without eating at all. Em perors and Princes at this time, often set prisoners at liberty, that they might imitate, as far as in thcin lay, the example of our Lord, who at this time delivered us fiom the bonds of our sins, and made us capable of enjoy ing unappreciablc blessings. The Imperial laws of Theo dosius forbade all judicia 1 acts or legal process during this and the following week. In the Apostolical Con stitution, the law is mentioned in the following words: " In the Great Week, and the week following, let Ser vants rest from their labor, because the one is tbe time of our Lord's passion, anil the other, of His glorious res urection, and Servants have need tube instructed now in these mysteries." • Procession on Palm-Sunday, at 12 o'clock. Palm-Sun day is so called from the ceremony of blessing branches of Palms, or some other tree, to be distributed among the faithful to carry in procession, in remembrance of what the Jewish people did, when Jesus Christ, six days before His passion, made His triumphant entry Into Ju rusalem, riding on an ass colt, as has been foretold by the Prophet, and was received with joyful acclamations of the multitude, as well as those of his disciples. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, will be sung the Office, called Ten three, and iii the morning Jlass nt 10 o'clock, accampanied by various ceremonies. On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday evenings, there will be the Stations of the Holy Cross, and Mass in the Morning at 8 o'clock. Let us then he attentive with all possible watchfulness, that the memory of these great mysteries may not pass in vain,and let our hearts he penetrated with devotion,so we may he capable to receive the admirable gilts, which will he plentifully conferred on those who shall he d's posed to receive them.
