We can so easily remember, and with great care and attention, the last days of the lives of those people we have loved. In the same way, the Passion of the Lord was treasured in the mind of the early Church. Every step along the way was remembered. The Lord’s Passion was remembered out of love. Our God loved us so much that He became one of us show His love could destroy the power of hatred in the world. He died so that we could join Him in dying to the world. He rose, so we could join Him in sharing eternal life. On Holy Thursday evening we remember the sacrifice of the Lord, made present to us in Bread and Wine, and we remember too how Our Lord renews are encourages our determination to be a people who wash the feet of others. On Good Friday we remember the death that makes life possible. On Holy Saturday we await the Lord. On Easter Day, and on each day of the Easter Octave, we celebrate with joy the Victory of Jesus Christ over sin and death. While this year we cannot celebrate and remember these great events together in church, we can unite ourselves in faith and prayer as we look forward to renewing our remembrance of the these events the very next time are reunited for the celebration of that great and wondrous mystery which remembers all these event: The Mass. Until then, we pray, the Lord keep us all safe and well.
…Holy Saturday will be our time of expectancy and patient waiting!
