Blessed Easter

This Holy Weekend has been decidedly quotidian. Instead of the usual augustness of the Easter Vigil Mass, I elected to welcome the first light of Easter by myself and then with my family. It was quiet, dignified but nonetheless euphoric - a great release.

Leading up from the sombreness of the Good Friday service, I found that I would rather savour the fullness and richness of the Liturgy of Light slowly, pondering word by word in the readings and letting their profundity and the magnificence of our salvation history sink in, instead of the usual logistical nightmare that jostling with 1000 other parishioners often involves.

This was a uniquely peaceful and succoring experience. Humanly formed thoughts and words as between God and I were unecessary.

So this is what redemption really feels like.

Blessed Easter to one and all!
