Triduum Curtailed

I had scheduled time off for us to attend the Holy Week rites, and we did make it to Holy Thursday.  But Ronda was so tied down at the Legislature, and I felt so poorly from my allergies, that we scaled back today and bailed on the 3 o'clock Stations of the Cross and the evening Good Friday service with the Veneration of the Cross.  We contented ourselves with breaking our fast at Bahn Thai and watching the Holy Father lead the stations at the Coliseum in Rome on EWTN.

Jesus sleeps in his tomb, having descended to the underworld to raise the souls of the righteous.
