Happy Easter Season

Christ has Risen!! Alleluia!
The joy of this season is often lost after the first rush of Easter. Our Church in her wisdom gives us 50 days of Easter to reflect on the meaning and impact of the Resurrection in our lives.
Last evening we held a gathering of the newly initiated adults, along with others in the process. The 5 "newbees" shared their experience of the Triduum and how their lives have changed over the course of their preparation journey. It was a powerful sharing and made me proud of our church and all it calls us to be.
I would like to hear from any of you who were at the Easter Vigil Service about your reaction to the baptisms and the following rites.
