I hope everyone is having a blessed Easter season. I am very excited during this Easter season. Jennifer and I sponsored two candidates in RCIA, and they were received into the Church on Easter. Some of Per Christum’s web friends have entered the Catholic Church. Welcome to Nana Ruth, and all others who entered the Holy Catholic Church this Easter. The Easter vigil was beautiful, and as always, I understand the meaning of the resurrection when I worship Christ at the vigil. I have a few thoughts on the resurrection I want to share in a few weeks.
Because I teach at a Catholic school, the octave of Easter is when I have my spring break. I have been very busy lately with work, and church commitments (and online work), and still have things I need to catch up on. One way I am feasting during the Easter octave this year is to get some rest, and see my family. And right after the Octave, I am getting up at 5:00 AM to help chaperone 50 students on a trip to Washington DC (not sure if this counts as rest or not; I would appreciate your prayers for safe travel, etc). So, this week, and into next, I may be a little slow in getting back to emails, and may not post as much (if at all), but I will be celebrating the octave of the “solemnity of solemnities” in my own way! Christ is Risen! I get into a little more detail about my relaxation plans on my personal blog (with some of my non-theological thoughts, updated only occasionally), An Aid to Memory.
Is anybody else doing anything special or observing a particular way of feasting this Easter season?

Thanks for the welcome, Dave!!
Enjoy your Octave of Easter break.
My college had Spring Break last week (which was helpful to my observance of Holy Week ;-). Today all was normal chaos…
Pax,
