Exultet


THIS IS THE NIGHT . . .

I just wrote on Facebook, and want to say it here . . .

When I die, if my passage to the other world is to walk into a dark church, and see a single candle burning, and a priest chanting the Exultet, I shall be joyful. I always thought, the church at this moment in the Vigil is a glimpse of Heaven.
Priests! May your voices be strong and sure!
For those who join us in Mother Church tonight - welcome home!

I totally agree! This is the Night of Nights, the Mother of all Vigils! Thanks be to God!

:-D "They" could botch almost the entire Easter Vigil, but as long as "they" get the exultet right, I'm a happy woman.
