Pope Benedict XVI blows into blessed oil as he leads the Chrismal mass in Saint Peter's Basilica at the Vatican April 5, 2012.
It is very sad, at the end of holy Mass on Holy Thursday,
the priest processes out with the Eucharist. The choir is singing a solemn hymn, the tabernacle is empty with it’s doors open, the altar is stripped, you feel a loss.
I walked out of church this evening and looked up to the clear night sky and there was this bright full moon. It was a comfort, I immediately thought of the consecrated host, the Holy Eucharist.
