Lent is almost over. It seems to have gone by in a flurry of activity. I have been working on many home and craft projects with all of my "extra time" (sans TV shows). I know that it will be hard to resist watching TV again, but I've really enjoyed not watching it. I have been spending my time on more valuable pursuits, like walking my dogs so that they are less resistant to the leash someday.
I love the Triduum. I went to the Holy Thursday mass tonight, which ended with the candles being extinguished and the altar stripped. The services in the Triduum are always the most moving and beautiful, I find. There was the display of humility and service tonight in the feet washing, and tomorrow night there will be the veneration of the cross, with the climactic candle-lit vigil on Saturday night and the completion of the initiation process for the catechumens. I really enjoy each one.
I don't really have much to say, but that I am thankful to be a part of such a wonderful church, and that I'm able to get these nights off work to go to these services. I am ready to move and be moved, to love and be loved.
