My people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you?
Answer me!


Holy Week

The three last days of Holy Week are often called the Sacred Triduum. This period may be considered from a threefold viewpoint:

1. These days bring to a climax and to a conclusion our preparation for Easter.

2. But these three days are already a part of Easter; for there is an inseparable union between the Death and Resurrection of Christ—the two together constitute the Easter mystery.

3. These three days may, nevertheless, be regarded as a unit in themselves, a true triduum or trilogy, a three-art drama on Christ's redemptive work. — Excerpted from The Church's Year of Grace by Pius Parsch
