Pange lingua gloriosi

As the entire church kneels in utter silence, the altar is stripped of its white linens, the table cleared, even the candle, which is always burning in every church around the world, is extinguished, like the Life given for us. It's a feeling of complete emptiness. One I imagine I would feel every day if it weren't for the Sacrifice that we celebrate this weekend, the Eucharist and the saving act of Our Lord on the cross. Though I often take it for granted amidst the business of my life, tonight, I am truly grateful. May you all have a very Blessed Triduum.
