He is Risen! Happy Easter!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Vigil and Easter morning!!

We didn't have a Latin Exultet at my parish here, but that didn't stop me from gleefully humming it all the way home. This is the one I always remember, sung by Fr. Zuhlsdorf at the Church of St. Agnes in St. Paul, MN.

Now I can eat chocolate again! Funny, I don't really want it anymore.

The past four days have been an intense and blessed experience. One of the reasons is that in a location where Mass is usually only available once or twice a week, in a place where the only Christians you see are the ten or twenty at your church, it's beautiful to be able to go and to be with all the other believers for this most holy feast.

Alleluia!
