RE: Easter Celebration for Sublime Sunday

With our kids and even our grandkids grown or living far away, we no longer enjoy the traditions we once did, like candy-filled Easter baskets, or dying and hiding eggs for the kids to hunt. This year we focused more on church. My wife didn't even decorate the house.

It seems the only thing you could call an Easter tradition for us now is watching The Passion of the Christ on Good Friday, along with fasting and abstinence. We went to the Oblate of San Antonio on Holy Thursday, where they have a large reproduction of the Lourdes Grotto and the Tepeyac of Guadalupe. We were able to spend some time in adoration at the chapel there. We attended Good Friday services, and then stopped to eat at Red Lobster on the way home. Apparently Good Friday is their busiest day. After Easter Sunday mass, we went to a niece's house to celebrate two birthdays and a young lady becoming Catholic through RCIA at the Easter Vigil the night before.

I attended the Tridium Masses and services. The Catholic Church is rich in tradition, and gives all of us the opportunity to live Holy Week well! And the Easter celebrations are unparalleled. Accepting the new members of the church through RCIA is very moving. We had so many baptisms and first communions!!!

"We had so many baptisms and first communions!!!"

That's great! It's always difficult to tell, with all the C&E Catholics attending Easter services, but I feel like the Church is growing, and that truly is a beautiful thing.

You feel it too? Since last year, we have had so many adults and converts joining in! It is not true that evil has taken over the world—not in my experience anyway. BEAUTIFUL!

My wife and I attend a diocesan Latin Mass in San Antonio, so attendance at our mass has grown as other Texas Bishops (in Corpus Christi, and more recently in Austin) have banned the Traditional Mass (due to the Pope's motu proprio - Custodes Traditiones), and "trads" have started making the drive to San Antonio. That said, the church is filled with crying babies...the future! If your church isn't crying, it's dying. If you are so inclined, consider signing the petition to Bishop Vasquez asking for restoration of the traditional mass at the Cathedral in Austin, Texas, or at least keep those faithful in your prayers. I need to add you to my daily prayer intentions too, my friend. Keep the Faith!
