We know the Triduum ends in glory and resurrection but we must permit mourning. We must rest in the silent weeping for Christ. This is why our holy hours continue before empty tabernacles. It is a necessary exercise in praying with the Church at the tomb.
Even while knowing our Spouse is making all things new in his sleep of death we allow ourselves the mournful wait alone in an empty oratory. A sadness that yet quivers with hope – a hope soon to be fulfilled in our lives of time and space and eternally when Christ comes again.
Resurrexit Sicut Dixit!!!
