We enter the Paschal Triduum this evening. The schedule for The Three Days is on the left. I look forward to celebrating this holy time with you.

Here is a prayer by Soren Kierkegaard to frame the time:

O Lord Jesus Christ,
thou didst not come to the world to be served,
but also surely not to be admired or worshiped.
Thou wast the way and the truth--
and it was followers only thou didst demand.
Arouse us therefore if we have dozed away into this delusion,
save us from the error of wishing to admire thee
instead of being willing to follow thee and to resemble thee.

 

 

--Beth Reed, Priest-in-charge
