Reflection Starter from Deacon Keith Fournier

"Through the stark and solemn Liturgy of the Friday we call 'Good', we stand at the Altar of the Cross where heaven is rejoined to earth and earth to heaven, along with the Mother of the Lord. We enter into the moment that forever changed - and still changes - all human History, the great self gift of the Son of God who did for us what we could never do for ourselves by in the words of the ancient Exultet, 'trampling on death by death'. We wait at the tomb and witness the Glory of the Resurrection and the beginning of the New Creation." -  Deacon Keith Fournier
