There is a stillness to this morning, a feeling that we are near the heart of things. Between the Passion and the Resurrection there is only a sentence in the creed, but there is a day for us who live it. Triduum is the axis mundi around which all of time and earthly existence turn, heaven touches earth and even hell itself. But right now we are between the two poles. Behind us, miracles but also suffering. Ahead, suffering but also glory. On this day our task is both insurmountable and insignificant. All we have to do is remain. He is returning. He is not idle. Though He seems removed from us, He is active and we are always on His mind. All we have to do keep our faith.

Peasant Piety
I am striving for peasant’s piety. To let politics and debates about the curia fall away and believe simply. Experience the sacraments in faith and trust. In a way, that is what we are all called to, to have faith like that of a child. I know also, though, that it’s not enough; to bury my nose in a missal and see my parish as just a place to receive the sacraments would be sloth. Much has been given to me and so much is expected. I have been given talents, intelligence, and the blessing of a good education. I must find a way to use these things in my faith, not because they are necessary or they make me holy, but because if not consecrated, they will be stumbling blocks.
