The season of Lent is now brought to a close, and the Triduum (three days) begins. The Easter Triduum is the center, the core, of the entire year for Christians. These 3 days--ONE LITURGY-- mark the mystery around which our entire lives are played out. Holy Thursday celebrates the institution of the Eucharist, by which God continues to bring people more deeply into the life of Jesus and his love of the Father so that we, too, can be the Body of Christ to love.
