While Easter is every Sunday, the Great Three Days—the Triduum—are like one great Sunday. The three days form one long, ancient, liturgy that begins with compassion and forgiveness, walks us through our fear-filled and violent rejection of God, and ends in the ultimate grace of God’s persistent love for all creation. These three days are a time of repentance, of turning away from what we fear, and turning towards all that gives us life, hope, love, and joy. It is a time of turning away from all that prevents us from living as God has created us, in God’s vibrant, hopeful, loving, and joyful image.
Here is a link to a service booklet that allows you to pray the three central days of the Christian year at home or with family. The Maundy Thursday liturgy is designed to be done over a meal, or after, as you choose. Mtr. Maria and Elizabeth will celebrate Good Friday and the Easter Vigil in their home and you are welcome to join them via Zoom. Details are below, and will be sent via email and posted on the website.
