Bridal shower, church, grandparents, zucchini bread, hot chocolate, basketball and wrestling (and an interview with a wrestler who claims that he cooks and holds a sewing circle at his house).
Easter Communion
Pure fasted faces draw unto this feast:
God comes all sweetness to your Lenten lips.
You striped in secret with breath-taking whips, Those crooked rough-scored chequers may be pieced
To crosses meant for Jesu's; you whom the East
With draught of thin and pursuant cold so nips
Breathe Easter now; you serged fellowships,
You vigil-keepers with low flames decreased,
God shall o'er-brim the measures you have spent
God shall o'er-brim the measures you have spent
With oil of gladness, for sackcloth and frieze
And the ever-fretting shirt of punishment
Give myrrhy-threaded golden folds of ease.
Your scarce-sheathed bones are weary of being bent:
Lo, God shall strengthen all the feeble knees.
Gerard Manley Hopkins

On the Superiority of European Greetings:
Dear Friends, Greetings to you all on this Easter morn. May the peace and joy of our Risen Lord reign in your hearts and those of your loved ones. That for which we longed, has now come to pass. Alleluia! I hope that I will see each of you soon to share in our Easter gladness.
“My dearest friends, standing with me in this holy light, join me in asking God for mercy, that he may give his unworthy minister grace to sing his Easter praises.” (from Exsultet)

Dragi prijatelji,to Veliko noč bom prvič praznoval velike skrivnosti naše vere kot duhovnik.Ob tem praznovanju mi misli hitijo k vsakemu od vas, ki ste mi na kakršen koli način stali ob strani na poti priprave k duhovništvu. Bogu se zahavljujem za vas in vas priporočam njegovi milosti.
As we will shortly sing “Easter praises” on this holy night,I wish you many blessings so that your ears would hear the Word of the Father and your hearts would celebrate his mysteries. I pray that you would look forward with hope to our own resurrection,since the Father made us his sons and daughters,and restored our joy. As I humbly ask you to pray for me, I promise my prayers.
