So, thinking about the beginning of, we just, this is the last, actually,

Lentus over, we've begun the Holy Thursday liturgy.

That means that, to whatever you gave up for Lent, you can do it now, I guess,

not really, just kidding.

But, Lentus over, and it has been an entire season of, a little note on this,

actually, when it comes to Lent, when it comes to the season, we're just entering.

So, this mass doesn't end today.

This mass doesn't end tomorrow.

This mass doesn't end until we conclude the Easter vigil.

So, as we're praying, you know, it's realized, okay, there's no final blessing at the end of mass.

It is, we just kind of depart in silence.

And the idea behind that is like that, this isn't concluded because we're going to journey with Jesus.

So, here is Holy Thursday, where Jesus gives us, the priesthood, he gives us the Eucharist,

he shows what it is to truly serve, shows us what it is to truly love.

We go with him into the Gethsemane, we go with him through the night,

we go with him through his passion and crucifixion, we go with him to hell.

This is sent to hell and we rise with him.

That's the pattern.

So, there's no ending to this mass.

It just keeps, well, Saturday night is the ending.

And so, my invitation is, we've just concluded Lent.

We're now just beginning the three holiest days in the year.
