Good Thursday was difficult for him. Important, but difficult – says the Archbishop. For this was a time of reflection on what difficult tasks priests face and what priests are lacking today to meet these tasks. He was very much experiencing it. And, that is why he kept telling us at every opportunity that we have to convert every day. To be able to convert others.
“On Holy Thursday the Paschal Triduum begins, which will allow us to relive the main event of our salvation” – John Paul II said in his last catechesis before Easter 2002. And, he explained that “in the Paschal mystery lies the meaning and fulfillment of human history. Therefore, Easter is not one of the holidays, but it is a “feat of all feasts”, a “celebration of all celebrations”, just as the Eucharist is the “sacrament of the sacraments”. It is for those who talk about the superiority of Christmas over Easter – laughs the Archbishop.
