Beards seem to be contagious ;-)
ReplyDeleteSplendid pictures! You can see your love for God through the beauty of the liturgy.
Beautiful photos Brothers!

I couldn't help but think of St Brendan and the whale when I saw the photo of the Vigil fire. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you all had a Holy Easter Week.
The carpet going up to the steps to the altar is a concern; rods to anchor it would make it safer.
ReplyDeleteIs Brother Valentine a new man? I have not heard of him before. Did a postulant sneak into the habit when we were asleep? Well, anyhow, CONGRATULATIONS Brother!
