The Light of Christ
One of my favorite services during Holy Week is the Saturday evening service. It’s known as the Great Vigil of Easter. I won’t go into all the specifics about the service, that’s for another blog, but what I will say is that it is one of the most beautiful services you’ll experience. The service begins…

Alleluia Christ Has Risen
The Lord has risen indeed, Alleluia! Happy Easter, friends! The 40 days of Lent have ended, and the Lord has overcome the chains of death and hell. With his sacrifice, He gives us the gift of life everlasting with Him in paradise. All things are made new in Him. Celebrate the joy of the resurrection…

Three Sacred Days
They begin today, the three most sacred days of the year. It’s called the Triduum and spans Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. The passion of our Lord lived out across these next few days. On Maundy Thursday, we relive the last supper and Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. It’s at the…

Morning Words

The book, “The Practice of Religion,” is filled with prayers, hymns, daily readings, etc. My edition was published in 1950; I do believe the first printing…

The Passion of our Lord
It’s Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. I mentioned yesterday that my husband and I readied the church for today. The palms are used to decorate windows, the altar, the crosses, and, of course, will be handed out to parishioners during the service. This service is special, and I’ve come to really love it.…

Don’t get me wrong, there is no denying the stunning beauty of Easter, all the lilies and spring flowers are amazing. However, the simplicity and meaningfulness of…

Operations of Easter
So, this week I’ve been talking with Father as I do my morning walk or bike ride. It’s been a nice change, as I’m spending more time in conversation and prayer. As I was riding along this morning, listening to the consistent hum of the tires, I began thinking about next week, Holy Week. To…

Serenity and Forgiveness
This morning I was riding my bike and talking with Father. It’s a routine I started this week, walking or riding and spending a little more time with Him each morning. As I frequently do, I asked what message I could share today in this little blog. This morning, the message didn’t come quickly; it…

Through the Haze
If you’ve followed this little blog for very long, you know that I have the pleasure of working with a 65+ senior golf group. They hold two outings a year, and I oversee the planning of those events and the general operations of the group. I’ve made some wonderful friends, many of whom have been…

Thanking Jesus is Enough
Over the past few days, you all have been answering the call to help with lifting prayers for a friend of mine and his sister. Rick’s sister was dealing with some major health issues this past week. I won’t share all of the details out of respect for Rick, just know that it was a…
