Holy Week: Holy Week is a Dramatic Pause

Feat. Fr. John Nepil

April 13, 2025 | 43 min.

Join Fr. John Nepil, vice rector at St. John Vianney Seminary in Denver, as he explores the power of authenticity in faith and formation. He shares why “being normal” is essential—not only for preparing men for the priesthood but for all Catholics seeking to live and share their faith meaningfully. Fr. John also reflects on the significance of Holy Week, especially the Triduum liturgies, as a time to recognize God’s work in our lives throughout Lent. He challenges us to embrace the “dramatic pause” of these sacred days and enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection.

Fr. John Nepil is vice rector and assistant professor at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver, Colorado, and cohost of the Catholic Stuff You Should Know podcast.
