Father, we were out of town last year and did not have the blessing of attending St Joe's during the Easter Tridium. We were absolutely moved by the beautiful ceremony last night. It was an unapologetically Catholic event.
We appreciate your efforts to make the OF extraordinary.
I agree! The entire Mass, but most especially, the transfer of the Eucharist moves me beyond words. The time of watching until midnight before the Altar of Repose is special too and provides reflection needed before Good Friday. Bless you, Father, for keeping Holy Thursday, indeed, Holy.
