Prayers during April

Best Prayers during April

April includes one, if not the, most important week for Christians: Holy Week. In 2023, Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday, April 2, and concludes on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. Holy Week chronicles Jesus’s return from the desert, the Last Supper, and the day of His crucifixion. Most fittingly with the gifts of the Last Supper, April is liturgically celebrated as the month of the Blessed Sacrament.
