As the sun set tonight, Catholics begin the celebration of the Triduum (literally, three days, measured from sunset to sunset and concluding Sunday evening.

These are the holiest days of the Church year, recalling Jesus’ Last Supper, Crucifixion, Death, Burial, and Resurrection. 

These are days of quiet reflection and solemn ritual that focus on the essentials of our lives:  service, sacrificial laove, and the hope of new life.

Blessings.
