Happy Holy Thursday! This is the first day of Triduum. As Catholics we celebrate this religious observance over a three day period in preparation for Easter. At the service today we sang hymns, but when we ended with “The Servant Song” I received a great revelation from God; the lyrics to this song penetrated my soul and I silently wept.
The Servant Song
Will you let me be your servant,
Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace to
Let you be my servant, too.We are pilgrims on a journey,
We are trav’lers on the road;
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load.I will hold the Christ-light for you
In the night-time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
Speak the peace you long to hear.I will weep when you are weeping;
When you laugh I’ll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
‘Til we’ve seen this journey through.When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony,
Born of all we’ve known together
Of Christ’s love and agony.
Let me be as Christ to you;

After the service, I made my way to the adoration chapel and prayed for those on my heart. Please know that whatever you are going through God is forever with you. Nothing is impossible for Him.
