(3 more reasons why I love our priest!)
- On Friday, February 26, 2010 we will have very simple Stations of the Cross followed by a showing of Into Great Silence. Into Great Silence is a documentary film directed by Philip Groning that was first released in 2005. It is an intimate portrayal of the everyday lives of Carthusian monks of the Grande Chartreuse, high in a remote corner of the French Alps. The film was made 16 years after the director first requested permission to make it. He lived at the monastery for six months, and filmed all alone; behind the walls no "outsider" had ever before been allowed to enter. One of our parishioners is a Carthusian.
- On Holy Thursday we celebrate the institution of two sacraments, Holy Orders and the Eucharist. Holy Thursday is also the Liturgy in which we remember Jesus washing the feet of the Apostles. In John's Gospel, this foot-washing is connected to the Apostles being ordained. In light of this year being named the Year for Priests, this year's Holy Thursday foot-washing will be all men.
- This year the Easter Vigil will begin at 8:00 PM instead of 7:00 PM. In the early church, Mass would begin at sun down and this will get us a little closer to that. If you forget and still come at 7:00PM, don't worry, it is a good day for a little extra prayer.
