Easter Vigil

Holy Saturday found us again at the Basilica Ecce Homo. It began on the roof in the dark. A roaring fire was lit and from it light for the Pachal candle. We processed into the sanctuary and stool around the altar in candlelight hearing the Easter Proclamation sung. It was beautiful. We sat down during the readings. They were interspersed with Psalms and songs. We regathered around the altar for the affirmation of baptism and then the meal. It was wonderful. Many of the songs were songs we also sing. I wish you all could have been there. We heard the first alleluia a if Easter. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
