He Is Risen
Alleluia He Is Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed, Alleluia! Well, I’m not sure there is much else I can say to top that in today’s little blog! I simply wish you a Happy Easter! May it be filled with the love that only Christ brings. May it also be filled with time with family…

The Despair
Holy Saturday, the final day of the Triduum. Jesus lies in a tomb wrapped in linen cloth. A large stone is rolled in front of the opening and sealed for good measure. This morning as I thought about that first Holy Saturday I was imagining the despair the disciples may have felt. Their Lord, the…

The Triduum
The final days of Jesus’ life, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, the most solemn days of our Christian life. Today, we begin that final walk, the journey to the Cross—the Triduum, the three final days of Jesus’ life. The Maundy Thursday service has always been meaningful to me. During this service, we will…

The Walk Continues
Wednesday of Holy Week. This was the day that Mary anointed Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume. It was also the day that Judas made the decision that he would betray Jesus. In this little blog, I simply share a prayer in preparation for the next days ahead, as we remember the final walk He made…

Time to Connect
I enjoy the weekends. Ok, I know that’s a radical idea 🙂 . Seriously though, they are a time to slow down just a tad and enjoy moments that that business of the week doesn’t allow. For instance, I can get dinner going a little earlier and my husband and I can enjoy meals on…

The Passion
Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. The week when we walk the path that Jesus did, the last week of His earthly life. It’s an emotional week and there are so many services that have me questioning what would I have done if I were there in that crowd. Would I have…

And…We Wait
In one of my first posts this week I mentioned how I had been learning so many things about Holy Week that I had not known before. I’ve been digging a little deeper and doing more research into what happened each day. So yes, I’ve learned a little more about Holy Saturday as well 🙂…

It is Finished
As I write this little blog this morning I feel like I’m remembering the anniversary of a loved one’s death. I guess that would be because we are. Good Friday, the most solemn day of Holy Week, the most solemn day ever. The day that Jesus was accused falsely, he was mocked, beaten, condemned, and…
