Hello, Father. The other forums are full. I hope you don't mind answering my questions. They are quick :) (1)Would attending the Easter Vigil fulfil my Easter Sunday mass obligation? (2)In the Bible, Jesus is offered a 'sponge dipped in gall'...what was the reason for this? Thanks and have a great Easter! |

The answer to your first question is yes. In response to your second question: In the Roman practice of crucifixion, offering the crucified victim vinegar on a sponge was a way of prolonging his life so that he would suffer even more. |
