Thank you!
Such a holy time. Did you hear in today’s Gospel how Jesus foretold that Judas would be the betrayer. It builds all week, doesn’t it?
Thanks for running these threads. Wifey doesn’t FReep (other than lurk the threads), but she is a very devout Catholic and loved your thread from last week.
Was that the one on the meditations of Christ’s Passion?
I forget, because I post so many.
this is absolutely my favorite time of year.
Mine too. More than Christmas!
I attended our diocese’s Chrism Mass today. I don’t think I have ever been to one before. It was 2 hours long, and quite the event. I’ve never seen that many people in the Cathedral before. The singing was amazing, and we have a wonderful bishop.
Thank-you for this wonderful posting. This has been a difficult Lent for me, maybe because it was so early. At least it is important to spend time doing the Tridium well.
Our Chrism Mass was last night in Portland. Wow! Fantastic music, I would say close to 200 priests, the Re-Commitment Ceremony for the priests was soo moving.
And of course, the presentation of the Holy Oils.
A great Mass. Our Archbishop said the Mass and Assistant Bishop assisted. A number of deacons also were present. (As well as a lot of young seminarians!)
Wow!
Prayers for you.
Thank-you.
Our diocese will be ordaining 4 new priests in May. That is actually an incredible amount, since I think we had less than 10 in the last 15 years with our previous bishop. Our new bishop is his own vocations director, he is proving so good at it that the Holy Father arranged a last minute audience with him the last time he was in Rome.
What wonderful resources! Thanks!
I have to get my Easter breads made for the blessing of the food on Saturday. Might do that tomorrow morning.
Great news. Right now I am not sure how many we have here, but it is substantial.
