Blog Triduum Off

I’m going to be taking a break from blogging over Triduum (which technically doesn’t start until the Mass of the Lord’s Supper tonight, but I’m counting the of Holy Thursday as part of my break).

Regular blogging service will resume Easter Monday.

In the meantime, I’d invite you to get more out of this smallest of liturgical seasons by reading

POPE BENEDICT’S ADDRESS FROM YESTERDAY EXPLAINING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TRIDUUM

and

PASCHALE SOLEMNITATIS, THE VATICAN DOCUMENT DEVOTED TO THIS SEASON AND EASTER

Fall is here, and that means the leaves turn pretty colors, people are dressing warmer, football is on every Sunday, but there is something far less cheery about the season. This means that you’ll be always exposed to an environment full of unseen viruses, like flu virus. Fall usually means the beginning of the best season to catch the flu. Influenza is one of the deadliest diseases in human history, and its death toll is estimated to be greater than the Bubonic Plague, yet the easiest prevention is simply to wash your hands. A very practical preventive measure! Here’s what you may not know: around 226,000 people are hospitalized every year from the flu, and about 36,000 people die from it each year. Treating it once infection has begun can be costly, and prevention can be as well. Health experts recommend a yearly flu shot, which costs in the neighborhood of $20 – 30. If you have children, then getting a shot for yourself, your spouse/partner, and the kids can add up fast. If you get the virus anyway, treatment is expensive, especially if it means hospitalization. This is just a reminder that a payday cash loan can help cover unexpected medical bills, and to wash your hands.

An octave meaning that its an 8 day long event?

I believe Pentecost is an octave, starting on Pentecost Sunday.

I don't know my liturgical calendar very well, but isn't Pentecost Sunday considered its own season?
