Tridiuum

Three days. The holiest days in the Christian calendar. They begin on Holy Thursday evening and conclude with the Easter Vigil. These services, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil are parts of a whole. The work of salvation was not just about Jesus' death but began with his life and continues to his resurrection. Death and Life are held in tension as we walk through these days with Jesus. This is not about morbid fascination with spilled blood and gory death. Is about the extreme measures that God is willing to take in order to free us from the "slavery to sin and death." (Word and Table I, UMH 13) The acts of the Triduum are the acts of salvation not just for humanity but for all of creation.

My prayer is that all of you will join us for this commemoration. On Holy Thursday we re-member the meal of love, forgiveness and service that we call Holy Communion, on Good Friday we will gather at noon to re-member the passion of our Lord, Easter morning we gather at 8:15 and/or 10:30 am to celebrate the victory of Christ over sin and death.

Lenten has been a long but wonderful journey. As we prepare to end this season the question is: Is all going to be back to normal? or Are you going to allow the risen Christ to transform you forever?

Look forward to see you on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

Peace, Juan+
