Generic
Tomorrow is Maundy Thursday. Which is followed by
Good Friday. Then comes Holy Saturday. And finally, triumphantly,
Easter Sunday. But before all of this is ... Wednesday. Wednesday
without a modifier. Just plain old generic Wednesday.
And yet.
And yet.
This generic middle day of the week is the day that the Lord has made.
This is a sacred hour, a blessed time. It's a moment in which we can collect our thoughts, catch our breath, reflect and contemplate on our Lenten journey before we dive into the triduum, the Three Days, that commence tomorrow evening with the Maundy Thursday service and culminate in the Easter Vigil.
May we all feel the presence of God's reconciling, restorative love on this no-name, off-brand, frill-free, generic Wednesday.
