 Triduum at Grace Church in Newark
The Paschal Triduum ("three days") constitutes a unified celebration of the Paschal Mystery: God's victory over sin and death through the death and resurrection of Jesus, and our participation in that victory through our own death and resurrection in the waters of Baptism.
The Liturgy of the Triduum is not a pageant that recounts the events surrounding our Lord's death in strict chronological order.
Similarly, sudden (and sometimes inexplicable) mood shifts occur in the liturgy during the Triduum, as the church contemplates events of earth- shattering moment.

The gospel readings for the First and Second Sundays of triduum recount the Temptation and the Transfiguration of the Lord, with the accounts from Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
On the next three Sundays, the gospels about the Samaritan woman, the man born blind, and the raising of Lazarus are found in Cycle A. Because of the importance in process of Christian initiation, these selections may also be proclaimed in Year B and Year C, especially where there are candidates for baptism.

 The Paschal Triduum and Easter Season with Mary
Regarding the Paschal days, however, popular devotion stresses Mary's sorrow more than her joy, as can be found in countless versions of the Stations of the Cross and numerous images of the sorrowful mother and Pietà.

At the Paschal Triduum, the Blessed Virgin is the new Eve or the "new woman" who stands by the tree of life (see Jn 19:25), as the companion of Christ the "new man" and as the spiritual mother into whose maternal care the Lord entrusts all his followers (see Jn 19:26).

 Growing in Faith
While at its origins in the second century Easter was preceded by two days of solemn fasting (a simple extension of the customary fast for any Friday), by the fourth century the preparation extended first to three weeks and then forty days.
This century also witnessed the full flourishing of the extended catechumenate (the ancient roots of today’s RCIA), with Lent constituting the period of final, intense preparation for initiation at the Easter Vigil.
In this liturgical perspective, ashes remind us to give generously to the poor as we abstain from food and drink, while also calling us to celebrate penance services to pray for one another in our conversion, once again, to the grace we received in baptism.
