A Blessed Easter

He is Risen
He is Risen, Indeed.

A Blessed and Holy Easter to all.

We usually go to the Vigil Mass. I love the Vigil Mass, the lighting of the fire, the spreading of the Light through the darkness, overcoming it.

The first time I risked taking young children to the Vigil Mass, I was quite surprised. My then three year old said "It was the most beautifulest thing" she ever saw.

This year, however, duty called. And not the duty to attend Mass. A child is sick, and crying, and up coughing and sniffing, unable to sleep due to a totally clogged head and cough. So Dad went to the vigil, and Mom stayed home. It's daytime Mass for me tomorrow.

The little guy was very upset when he found out I'd probably keep him home from Church tomorrow. I said "I know, it's Easter."

He said, "And not only that, it's SUNDAY!"
