Triduum Ping!
I struggle with where Easter falls. On the one hand the good book states that Jesus died on Friday, as they had to rush to get him entombed prior to the passover, which starts at sundown on Friday in the Jewish faith. It also states 3 days from death to resurrection, like Jonah in the whale. But there aren’t 3 days between Friday night and Sunday morning, so I wonder if perhaps it’s either partial days or if he really rose on Tuesday... In the end it’s a minor issue as what’s important is He rose...but it’s always made me wonder.
I converted (from nothing really) to the Catholic Church and this Easter will mark my second year. I have been honored to be chosen to be one of the Lectors for the Easter Vigil Mass at my parish this year. I spent many years trying (very trying) to be a rocknroll star. While I used to get a pretty big rush when I would play in front of a (usally small) crowd, it doesn’t hold a candle to how it feels to read from the Bible. Plus, Easter Vigil is when the RCIA class is confirmed into the Church and they receive Communion for the first time, which makes it even more special.
