Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?

Share in the celebration

Tonight’s first reading (Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14) gives instructions for the celebration of the first Passover, including this precept:

If a family is too small for a whole lamb,
it shall join the nearest household in procuring one
and shall share in the lamb
in proportion to the number of persons who partake of it.


We live in busy and stressful days and many among us are struggling with serious financial concerns.

It is not an easy time for celebration.

May you and I do what we can to help others share in the celebration of Easter and the Triduum, so that we may all share more abundantly in the graces and joys of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
