ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to our Redemptorist Fathers and Brothers who bring us so much joy!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great post and inspiring pictures! I hope you had a blessed and happy Easter and were able to get some much-needed rest from your labors. I went to the Easter Vigil, something I wasn't able to do for the last couple of years, and it was a very heartwarming feeling to be present at the lighting of the Paschal Candle and the other important functions. God bless!
