Holy Week



I just wanted to wish my loyal readers a blessed Holy Week. Last night began the Easter Triduum. I am so happy and glad that I can sing with my church choir, and by singing,  I feel like I participate more fully in the liturgy. We started Holy Week with a wonderful Mass last night, and I am grateful for our snug little church and its relaxed but sacred atmosphere. I am grateful that we had Adoration afterwards and I could pray with my family of choice at St. T's and remember everyone - my family, friends, clients and all who have asked for intentions.

Take some time this weekend to be kind to someone. I think that is the best way to honor Him who died for us today.  We can never repay the debt we owe; we can never, I think, fully understand the extent to which Jesus' sacrifice on the cross means. Every time I think I get it, another layer is revealed, and I think that forever and ever, Christians until the end of time will find new meaning and truth in today's evens that took place about 2,011 years ago. 

Have a blessed Easter, everyone!

How lovely it would be to hear you sing some day.

It is amazing that each Easter we read the same stories and listen to similar sermons, yet are touched over and over by God's incredible love for us. I hope I never grow tired of remembering His love and sacrifice.
