Our priest was very unhappy because one of his best friends (another priest at another parish) had died literally right after giving the Mass on Good Thursday. So our priest was sort of tying in the loss of his friend to the hope Jesus gives in his resurrection, etc. It was definitely the most somber Easter homily I've ever heard. But I like the priest a lot because he is always honest, humble, empathetic and has a way of connecting in a real way (if that makes sense). <br /><br />We had nice lilies and flowers everywhere but thankfully no dumb bunnies.<br /><br />Oh, but what DID bother me...there were some people with noisy kids nearby, so I seriously couldn't even concentrate on praying. But, eh, I can't be a total grouch and get angry at children on Easter, doesn't seem right... ;P<br /><br />- LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
