Christians call them the Triduum Sacrum, the three most sacred days of the year, the three most sacred days of all time when time is truly told. - Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, Death on a Friday Afternoon
How odd that Fr. Neuhaus should introduce this term immediately on the heels of the concept of timeless eternity at the foot of the cross. If the Triduum represents the holiest days of the year, and if all time is present at the foot of the cross, then each day should be rooted in the sacrificial love which Jesus fulfilled by his Passion.
Good Friday cannot make its difference on one day of our lives without leaving its imprint on all the others.
(I'm not disagreeing with Fr. Neuhaus, btw. Just reflecting. Entering into the mystery.)
