Even though the Triduum takes a good deal of time out of the week, it does not feel like a burden to me. Rather, I enjoy each of the services for their own unique foci. Together, they tell the story of the days that lead up to Christ's Resurrection. In doing so, they emphasize Christ's love for us and the message that He brought.
In the homily, our pastor emphasized that the Resurrection is not simply an event that happened two thousand years ago. Instead, it is a perpetual event which goes on throughout all of time. We can look around and see aspects of this renewal at any moment. As such, we need to keep Easter alive in our hearts throughout the year, not just during this season.
