Alleluia. Jesus has indeed risen.
We have had a wonderful and holy Triduum.
Thursday night, Steve and I went to Holy Thursday Mass. We took Tom with us but the other children stayed home. Tom processed in with the Chrism oil since he is going to be confirmed this year.
After mass, I took Tom home and then went back to the church for Adoration. I stayed until 11.00 and it was great to sit in the quiet and be with Jesus.
Friday morning we were up for Stations of the Cross at 10.00 and then back for the 3.00 service. Catholic's do not celebrate mass on Good Friday. We have the readings, veneration of the cross and communion. The hosts are consecrated at Holy Thursday mass.
I spent Saturday doing house work and cooking. We made coconut ice and chocolate crackles.
Today we went to Sunday mass and celebrated the Resurrection. Tom and I did some more cooking in the afternoon and made some pound cakes for the Asylum seekers that are living here in Port Augusta.
We have two weeks of holidays now and I am looking forward to having some relaxation time.
I hope you all had a great weekend.
Therese.
