We strive image of the crucified Christ, before they sit. This service, better our ourselves (and our standings) before the Lord. which is not a Mass, includes a reading of the Passion, and veneration of the Cross (e.g., kissing or touching the wood There are of course some differences: In Spring Training one has of the Cross).

However, Holy Communion (consecrated on Holy Thursday, and is in Lent, when we see the victory of Jesus Christ over death taken to the Church from the Altar of Repose, where place ahead on the horizon at Easter, we know full well that that last night). victory, won once, and won for all time, will never fade.
