An Easter Hallelujah

These words are deeply moving and exquisitely sung by ten year old Cassandra and her big sister:

Superb.

Talking of moving, have you ever listened to the country/folk 'Too small a price]' by Don Francisco?

Did you go to the Thursday service and vigil Alan?

Did you go to the Thursday service and vigil Alan?

We attended the Maunday Thursday service but we did not attend the Friday service or the Saturday evening vigil due to restricted numbers in the congregation.
We all attended a morning service today to celebrate this wonderful feast of Easter.  To compensate for the restrictions of attending the live services we have been watching the ten volume set of DVD presentations entitled "Catholicism" which we purchased from the Word on Fire web site.  The title may seem a bit daunting even to church going Catholics, but Bishop Barron has a wonderful gift of presenting and explaining the foundations of our Christian faith in a very watchable and entertaining way.  He is able the relate spiritual and material matters to the reality we all live in, and confronts many of the criticisms which prevail in our increasing secular society.

Thanks for this, Jim.
I found it on youTube - an interesting take on yet another aspect of the Easter story, and very powerful.
Several years ago I heard a broadcast from Anne Atkins on the subject of the repentant criminal.  I managed to get a transcript of it from Anne and used it as a discussion topic for a Lenten house group I was hosting.  It proved to be a very interesting and fruitful discussion.
