Holy Thursday

The Triduum begins!


Still my favorite Holy Thursday picture.

Since the tradition is that Christ on this day established the Eucharist and thereby established the priesthood, it becomes a sacerdotal birthday for all of our ordained. God bless them and give them the strength they need . . . especially if it's their first time this year singing the Exultet!

Engl or Latin? Both are difficult

I'm impressed by the angle of the pic. Man, you had some brass ones pulling out the camera from where that was taken!

Joe, I think any first-timer is a little nervous, especially if this is his first Easter Vigil as a brand, spankin'-new pastor.

Karen, completely blind shooting. I was sitting ringside, as it were, and pulled it out from underneath my seat. Holding it down by my feet, I tilted the camera up and shot. That's what God gave me for my efforts.

"sacerdotal" - had to look up that $3.00 word.
