Welcome to Precious Blood Renewal Center in Liberty, Missouri, for this April Taize Prayer Service.
If you are joining us on April 1, it is the beginning of a three-day period of prayer called the Sacred Triduum, during which we celebrate the most momentous events in salvation history. The Triduum is sacred time when we are celebrating the Paschal Mystery, together as one Church, rejoicing in the resurrection with uplifted and responsive minds.
We pray:
Almighty ever-living God,
who created all people
to seek you always by desiring you
and, by finding you, come to rest,
grant, we pray,
that, despite every harmful obstacle,
all may recognize the signs of your fatherly love
and the witness of the good works
done by those who believe in you,
and so in gladness confess you,
the one true God and Father of our human race.
Through Christ our Lord.
+Amen.

An Assembling God’s Puzzle video
By Fr. Garry Richmeier
It seems to be part of our DNA to sort everything in life into two categories — right or wrong, good or bad. Of course, we are always on the “right” side and to demonstrate our “rightness” we demonize the other side and problems ensue. How can we break the cycle?
By Fr. Ron Will, CPPS
I hope that my reflections make you more attentive to the Eucharistic Prayer at the next Mass you attend. When you really listen to the readings and the prayers, the pieces of the puzzle of the Mass come together and you see the incredible vision God has for us.
