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…

He Sleeps
Holy Saturday. God, in the flesh, Jesus, sleeps. He descends to hell to bring the souls of His children who have gone before, home with Him. The image of God bringing Adam and Eve out from the gates of hell, how powerful is that? He literally died in the flesh to release His children from…

A Darkness Fell
Today is the most solemn day of the year. The day, when so long ago, a darkness fell. I don’t think there is ever a time when I read the account of the crucifixion, regardless of which gospel it is, that I don’t tear up. It’s hard to imagine people treating another human being the…

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…

God Speaks
There are times when he does, you know. If we allow ourselves to be open to listening, truly listening to Him, we will hear His message to us. This morning, I’ve been asking Father with more earnestness than usual to guide my steps and give me strength to accomplish a task today that won’t be…

Quiet
I walked this morning. I got an earlier start than usual, not by much, but it was earlier. As I walked and began my morning conversation with Father, I noticed how quiet it was. Talking with God and listening to the quiet, it was a very peaceful feeling. I found myself walking and just listening…

Palms and Perfection
We’re headed out this morning to ready our church for Palm Sunday services tomorrow. I have to admit, I love the way our church looks on this day. 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…

For Today
I’m a little out of sorts today, friends. My routine is out of whack, and before I knew it, the clock had moved by three hours, and it’s time to head out the door. I’m guessing you’ve had days like this. Too much on my mind, I guess. So I apologize for the short post.…
