In this light it is also aimed to ever renew and deepen personal participation in the divine compassion that is expressed in the Paschal Mystery, and through this Mystery, to lead back into the gratuity of the Trinity anew. The two primary ways in which this is done are 1) through recurring reflection on the great events of our salvation, especially the 'Holy Triduum' of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus, and 2) through 'accompanying' those who experienced a special closeness to the Lord, especially along the way of his Cros and his journey to the Resurrection.There is a one week Psalter with sets of Psalms and Canticles for every one of the times of prayer that are also present in the Liturgy of the Hours, and a four week cycle of Biblical readings, responsories, and prayers. …
