Triduum

Most often, we think of the Church experience over the next few days as three (or more) services. In fact, it is a single liturgy which begins this evening and continues until Sunday morning.

Tonight, tomorrow and Saturday are one long feast for the senses 

as we taste, touch, smell, hear and see God’s love made manifest 

in bread and wine; 

in water and towel; 

in fire and oil;

in word and action;

in sign, symbol and sacrament. 

What is the meaning of all that we do these Three Days? 

Love is the meaning.
