In these final weeks of Lent, as we stand on the threshold of the Sacred Triduum, these veils beckon us to readiness. The veiled countenances stir within us a yearning for the dawn of Easter. Initially jarring, these shrouds challenge our perceptions. Why, we may wonder, is the crucifix, emblem of our faith, concealed in the somber folds of Passiontide? Yet in their absence, our senses quicken, attuned to the void. Likewise, the Lenten silence of the Alleluia proclaims our exile from our celestial abode, where seraphic choirs perpetually intone their praise. When the shrouds are lifted ere the Easter Vigil, we are confronted with the realization that we inhabit a veiled realm. It is through our own mortality that the veil is rent, revealing our veritable home. In the Resurrection of Christ, the veil is lifted, and we glimpse the radiance beyond. Hello, I am Br.
