It's the most holiest time of the year,
the Holy Triduum and Easter!
Dear brothers and sisters,
Did you know that the Latin word triduum means three days? Yup: tri=three, duum=days, and triduum=three days. It's during these three days that we experience the most profound love from our God. That He would choose to become a man, like us, knowing that in doing so He would suffer at His own children's hands: betrayal, abandonment, mocked, scourged, and hung upon a cross to die. What we call His Passion.
Passion... Google defines as a "strong and barely controllable emotion". Which about sums up what Jesus went through. In His passion (zeal, desire) to bring all of us, His family, back to Himself, He could not help but go through what He did out of love for us. Knowing that in His Suffering and Death, He would right the wrong that our first parents caused us.
I invite you to tune in and participate in the Holy Triduum these next few days that we might actually understand why Jesus did what He did for us, as each day the liturgy will tell us what happened on those days before His Resurrection. All of the liturgies for the Holy Triduum and Easter will be live streamed, so please tune in and let others know:

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us!
