Holy Wednesday Anticipating

Holy Wednesday arrives as a midweek
Moment of anticipation born of waiting
For the most special three days of the year.

We take this moment as a passive pause to
Reflect while readying ourselves for the torrent
Of Spirit that comes only with the celebration

Of Easter. We call the week holy though too
Often we are so pressed by the duties and
Responsibilities of the week that we fail to

Consider its special contemplative giftedness.
In a week that is sacred we expect that God
Desires for us to open our hearts to his voice.

Surely the sound of God’s own voice, a sound
Uncommon to human ears, transcending
Man and woman’s language reaches within to

Find the deepest recesses of the human
Heart this week, and  he speaks to us in words
Rich and full of meaning. So full that they

Hold the power to push us forward--following
The Galilean even to what awaits him on Friday
Afternoon--our hearts unspoken desire being

To unite with him as one. Yet do we realize
That to unite with him means that we must
Follow him all the way to the Cross on which

He gave his life’s blood that we might call such
A day good? Most of us are quite unable to answer
Affirmatively in a truly knowing manner.

Wednesday arrives amid the busyness of the week.
Work and life do not rest, yet you and I take this
Moment to anticipate the great Triduum.
