We remember how you love us, by sharing your body and blood with us.
We also have to share your death in order to share your glory.
It is heartbreaking to see how you love us till your death.
You are willing to face what is entrusted upon you, with your brave, driven by your love to us.
Why and how could we do that to you? But you never forget us.
As you will come again, as we believe you will soon come again and dwell among us. We remember, we celebrate, we believe.
On this day, we nail the one who loves us on the cross, we nail our love to death.
These two days only very few parishioners joined the ceremony. No big deal and it gave us a very peaceful environment to rethink the meaning of all what happened on these nights. We had a closer relationship with the priests who we always listen to, with the altar that we always see, with each other who we always meet, with the Lord who we always pray to.
When the service finished I asked myself what we can do to memorize all these. Do we not wiling to spend only extra one or two days in a year to clear our mind on these special days. Are we not able to abstain from consumption and entertainment in remembrance of the day of redemption that falls on us?
We may not be strong enough to hold a status of abstinence, but we should at least be able to do it once for a while, to clear our body and our mind, for the coming grace.
The salvation is not yet finished. The redemption is not yet done.
