At no other time does God seem more alien to us than at the Triduum. Almost at every turn we find Him behaving oddly.1. On Maundy Thursday, the One who formed us out of the dust of the earth stoops to wash the dust off of his followers' feet.
2. On Good Friday, the Innocent One suffers, so that the guilty can go free.
3. Finally, on Holy Saturday (Easter's Vigil), the once-dead Immortal rises so that the born-dead might become immortals through death.
Oddly enough, millions have discovered unexpected peace when they have embraced Jesus invitation to join in by imitating his strange behavior.
