Easter

The liturgies of the Paschal Triduum are one continuous act of worship. There was no dismissal from the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper last night. There is no formal beginning of today’s Celebration of the Lord’s Passion, nor is there a dismissal at its end. Tomorrow, the Easter Vigil of Easter will simply begin, with the Service of Light. It is all one action, this commemoration of the axial point of human history and the beginning of the end time—the time of fulfillment." (Weigel, Roman Pilgrimage)
