I've been praying the Stations of the Cross privately using Tina Jost's One Hour for My Priest. It might be my most favorite section along with Help Him! Our parish has been praying the Stations every Wed, followed by a soup supper. What I love about the corporate prayers is that the priest recites this beautiful prayer after Benediction:
O Jesus Christ, remember,
when Thou shalt come again,
upon the clouds of heaven,
with all Thy shining train;
when every eye shall see
Thee in deity revealed,
who now upon this altar
in silence are concealed.
Remember then, O Savior,
we supplicate of Thee,
that here we bowed before Thee
upon our bended knee;
that here we owned Thy Presence,
and did not Thee deny,
and glorified Thy greatness
though hid from human eye.
Accept, Divine Redeemer,
the homage of our praise;
be Thou the light and honor
and glory of our days.
Be Thou our consolation
when death is drawing nigh:
be Thou our only treasure
through all eternity. Amen.
We're in the middle of Holy Week and preparing beautiful music for all the liturgies for the Sacred Triduum. Spring is here and I'm loving the warm weather and the promise of renewal. We had such a lovely weekend, riding our bikes to Waterfront park and providing some background music for the 379th birthday of Capt. Robert Daniell (our island town is named in his honor).

Thank you, my friend. I hope you had a very blessed Passover.
