Today is the final day of Lent - almost. Lent officially ends with the celebration of Holy Thursday evening Mass - so a few more hours left - still time. Today is the day we pick up all our spiritual pieces - the things that we have gathered about ourselves over the last forty days - yes - it is actually more than forty days - we already discussed that issue - here we are at day #43 with our Lenten posts - Sundays have been included - another three days to go until Easter. In these last hours of Lent - we rearrange - clean - our spiritual houses - preparer ourselves for the three holiest days of the Christian calendar - the Triduum. Holy Thursday - Good Friday - Holy Saturday. In those three days we will focus on three special aspects of the Christian year - how it prepares us to joyfully celebrate the Resurrection - Easter.

Jesus has been with us throughout our entire lives - every day - walking next to us - guiding - sending angels - people - to help us on our journey. Even when we were down - out - when we drifted away from Him - He was never far away from us. We may abandon Him - we may lose faith - He - always there - hard to believe - that is who He is - what He does. As we enter the Triduum - may we empty ourselves of all our worries - concerns - turn them all over to Jesus - declare to Him - Jesus I Trust in You.
