That means it was a busy busy weekend for our family. Friday night Mike and I were forced to make a shopping trip because some of us were missing the all black clothing that was required for our participation in the dramatization of this Sunday's passion. For some reason both Michael and Robby had both grown to the point that their black jeans ( I can't remember if we got them last Palm Sunday,or over the summer in preparation for Back to school)were Capri length( at best) and tight. Once prepared we went on about our lives until Saturday afternoon when we had to gather for our first mass. After Saturday evening's mass we headed home. Bright and early Sunday we arose as we had to be back at church for Sunday's masses. By afternoon we were ready to come home in the rain. Once home I wanted nothing more than to take a nap but tomorrow starts another week and so laundry needed done in addition to little things like everyone wanted to eat. Thankfully everyone pitched in and we got a lot done. Michael even found a few minutes to make me a wall cross ( and several little crosses too) out of palms.
Yes it has been a busy weekend and as this weekend draws to a close we find ourselves in the most Holy of all weeks. Though I will find myself making the final preparations for Easter dinner, picking up the last of the Gifts which will fill my children's Easter baskets, and even making sure that we have eggs to dye, none of this is of any importance compared to the reality of it all. Yes it is Holy week and throughout the week we will celebrate the final days of lent. WE will celebrate the Last Supper on Holy Thursday, Fast as we remember the Crucifixion on Good Friday and finally rejoice in the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Yes it will be a busy week but also a wonderful week. May you all have a Blessed Holy week !
