Happy Holy Thursday everyone, the end of Lent and the beginning of the Triduum. For me the blending of Passover with the Triduum is an especially special part of the Triduum. My main are of interest is Biblical Archaeology and looking at the Passover and comparing it with the Triduum, I have learned so much more. The Passover, as we hear in the first reading tonight, talks about the need for an unblemished male lamb that must be sacrificed and eaten just as we receive Jesus' body and blood in the Eucharist. The blood on the door posts protects the inhabitants from death just as Christ's blood keeps us from dying the final death to sin. This is also a time that I would ask you to pray for our Jewish brother and sisters especially with the call for registration of people of the Jewish faith in Ukraine.
Have a blessed Triduum, Nina
