Fourteenth Station

Jesus is Laid in the Tomb

“The mystery of God’s presence, therefore, can be touched only by a deep awareness of his absence. It is in the center of our longing for the absent God that we discover his footprints, and realize that our desire to love God is born out of the love with which he has touched us. In the patient waiting for the loved one, we discover how much he has filled our lives already.”
(Henri J.M. Nouwen: Reaching Out. The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life)

Hi teresa, I just got home from work. We have Mass at 7:30 and then Adoration until midnight for anyone who is able to stay. May God bless you during the Triduum.
