*The Sacred Paschal Triduum* [The paragraphs from the picture vv ] "At every celebration of the Eucharist, we are spiritually brought back to the paschal Triduum: to the events of the evening of Holy Thursday, to the Last Supper and to what followed it." "In this gift Jesus Christ entrusted to his Church the perennial making present of the paschal mystery. With it he brought about a mysterious 'oneness in time' between that Triduum and the passage of the centuries." "When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, the memorial of her Lord's death and resurrection, this central event of salvation becomes really present and the work of our redemption is carried out. This sacrifice is so decisive for the salvation of the human race that Jesus Christ offered it and returned to the Father only after he had left us a means of sharing in it as if we had been present there. Each member of the faithful can thus take part in it and inexhaustibly gain its fruits. This is the faith from which generations of Christians down the ages have lived. The Church's Magisterium has constantly reaffirmed this faith with joyful gratitude for its inestimable gift. I wish once more to recall this truth and to join you, my of dear brothers and sisters, in adoration before this mystery, a great mystery, a mystery of mercy. What more could Jesus have done for us? Truly in the Eucharist, He shows us a love which goes 'to the end' (cf. Jn 13:1), a love which knows no measure." ~ Pope St. John Paul II Papal Encyclical: Ecclesia De Eucharista, 4/17/2003

The Triduum is upon us! I will be fasting from X for the rest of these three days. Will be praying for everyone I’ve met on here especially the new Japanese friends that have been made accessible via auto translate. May you all have a blessed Easter!

I just want to remind everyone that Satan's goal for you is despair. That's why he tempts you to focus on how bad things are, rather than on how many blessings you've been given. Life can be hard, but there is always something to be grateful for.

@skyfoil_exe Me too! |(ˆ⌣ˆ)/ Very excited for it. Will keep you and all those being received fully into the Church in my prayers 🙏

I'm getting confirmed into the Catholic church this weekend!

In 610 AD Mohammed walked into a cave and “an angel of light” revealed to him a new path to God. But more than 550 years earlier, the apostle Paul foretold how Islam would come to be in both Galatians 1 and 2 Corinthians.

He didn’t say; “This represents my body.” He didn’t say; “This symbolizes my body.” He said; “This IS my body.”

@PapistDirectory 🙏 “St. Anthony, please pray the person who made this beautiful statue of the Holy Family finds this thread and IDs themselves.”

@WayfaringBroad I agree! I need to find who made it

In our homeschool this morning we studied the Baron's War and the Magna Carta. Then we did a saddle-stitch assembly for the first Arthurian story illuminated manuscript for the younger kids to work on. You can just lore-craft medieval stories and contrast mythic sacral kingship with tyrannical opportunistic monarchy. tamburnmanor.com/arthuriad

I am not merely a Catholic by affiliation, I nearly walked the path to the priesthood. Scripture, to me, has never been casual reading; it has been studied with the care of a sculptor refining form; patiently, attentively, reverently. And so I say this with both conviction and humility: Prayer is not performance. It is not spectacle. It is a sacred act, an intimate communion between the human spirit and the divine. A means not only to speak, but to interface with the heavens, the hosts of heaven themselves. When we pray, we approach with humility. With thanksgiving. With love. Just as one brings offerings into the house of the Lord, not in arrogance, but in surrender. Which is why moments of public prayer demand even greater care. When figures such as Paula White stand before the world in prayer, the expectation is clear: to seek wisdom, not validation. To ask that leaders like Donald Trump be guided toward justice, compassion, peace, and discernment. To intercede for the poor, the vulnerable, and the preservation of life. That is what true supplication looks like. But to elevate any political figure especially during the sacred solemnity of Holy Week to a comparison with the sinless Son of God is not devotion. It is error. And more than that, it borders on blasphemy. Likewise, when Franklin Graham invokes the Book of Esther as justification for the destruction of a modern nation such as Iran, it reflects not divine insight, but a troubling misapplication of scripture. Context matters. Theology demands responsibility. Sacred texts are not instruments for political ends. Faith was never meant to be weaponized. It was meant to guide, to correct, to humble. And if we are to invoke God in matters of leadership and war, then let it be done with trembling reverence, not confident distortion. Because the danger is not in believing too deeply but in believing wrongly. I am ashamed, this is our Holy Week for Gods sake. God have mercy.

“What Our Lord did say on the cross was to forgive. Forgive your Pilates, who are too week to defend your justice; forgive your Herods, who are too sensual to perceive your spirituality; forgive your Judases, who think worth is to be measured in terms of silver.” — Fulton Sheen
