As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about the Easter TRIDUUM, which falls on a different day every year. These Holy Days begin with Holy Thursday. The liturgy celebrated at church has the traditional washing of the feet, the celebration of the Eucharist and a procession of the Eucharist to a special place for adoration, all preparing for Good Friday.
I have always loved the Holy Thursday liturgy. It reminds us of our call to SERVICE and of the great gift that Christ gave us in the EUCHARIST. During Holy Thursday, I like to reflect on the ways in which I have been of service to others and my community this past year. I like to reflect on the gift of the Eucharist and how it continues to be the center of my life.
So today, I repeat the words, SLOW DOWN, SIMPLIFY and SANCTIFY this day. Take time to reflect on Jesus’ call to service and the gift HE gave us in the breaking of the bread. It’s time to get ready to GREET the RISEN Lord. It’s time to get ready to enter into HIS PASSION!
Have a Holy Easter season!
