Today begins the Easter Triduum.
During this blessed time, we remember the Last Supper, our Lord's Passion, and His glorious Resurrection.
Please join in praying a Triduum Prayer during these faith-filled days, and rejoice with us in Holy Mass on Easter Sunday.



Triduum Prayer

Lord Jesus, loving Savior,
To You we offer joyful praise,
For the compassion that you give,
Grateful prayer to You we raise,
Who have shown us how to live,
In faith, we want to follow You,
Although we sometimes may stumble,
May love guide all that we pursue—
Your love, our Savior most humble,
You know even without our voicing,
Every blessing, dream, and care,
With Easter hope and its rejoicing,
We come to You in thankful prayer,
Amen.
 
Holy Thursday evening Mass of the Blessed Sacrament went smoothly.

The officiating priest shared a message of peace from Pope Francis.

We offered our prayers and received Holy Communion as always.

Tomorrow afternoon on Good Friday our parish celebrates the stations of the cross.

Then Saturday evening at dusk the Easter vigil Mass is celebrated as always.

Most people choose between Saturday evening or Sunday morning Mass.

I'll return Saturday evening.

I feel uplifted in my thoughts and strengthened in my spirit and rewarded by Christ for taking Holy Communion this evening.

I will spend the next 3 days fasting and reading about Passion Week from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday in the Greek New Testament (in Greek).

My sister is having a dinner on Sunday afternoon where everyone will get together in our extended family of fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, cousins, and little kids.

My cat got some diced raw lamb which I saved for him while I was roasting lamb earlier in the day before church. He ate it all.
 
Today was free coffee at Wawa and my kitten's labs came back negative for lymphoma. I am blessed thank you Jesus!
