I hope you are having a blessed Triduum, my 3.14 readers. It's hard to be exiled from your liturgy at such a liturgical time and I miss the celebrations terribly, despite the difficulties last year in bringing two young children to long church services. I find myself longing for something tangible in the era of virtual everything.
The Dominican friars gave a great guide to the Triduum at home, but it was a little too... "advanced" for my domestic church. You can see it here. I want more suggestions like this from our parish and bishop. How can we transform our homes into churches when we cannot gather for Mass?
The Captain suggested that we do a "seder" on Thursday night, and it was a beautiful experience of how to have a ritual, embodied prayer in the midst of our exile from our normal ritual, embodied prayer. Especially moving was the last line: "Next year in Jerusalem!" In my exile from the Eucharist, that is my prayer.
