O truly necessary sin of Adam,
destroyed completely by the Death of Christ!
O happy fault
that earned for us so great, so glorious a Redeemer!
The sanctifying power of this night
dispels wickedness, washes faults away,
restores innocence to the fallen, and joy to mourners,
drives out hatred, fosters concord, and brings down the mighty.
On this, your night of grace, O holy Father,
accept this candle, a solemn offering,
the work of bees and of your servants' hands,
an evening sacrifice of praise,
this gift from your most holy Church.
It always reminds me that where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more. How paradoxical, yet I see it operating in my own life. Grateful to be His beloved. We've had a lovely time in prayer, in choir, with our family and friends.
I just learned this morning that Pope Francis died. Let us pray for his soul and a good and holy new Pope.

I thought of you when I heard of the passing of Good Pope Francis. How beautiful that he passed right after Easter.
May God have mercy on his soul and bring him to eternal life.
