If my people had heard me,

  if only they had walked in my ways –

I would swiftly have crushed their enemies,

  stretched my hand over those who persecuted them.
On this #HolyThursday we cry out to #Heaven in the profoundest of gratitude for the #BlessedSacrament

&

the #HolyPriesthood - through which He Comes to us.

Thank you, all #Priests, for your #PriestlyVocation.
#HolyThursday

7 Churches Devotion

Remember to visit the #BlessedSacrament in the #SevenChurches this evening.

Here, hoping they will be open late enough to do so, following this evening's #Mass of the #LastSupper.
This evening's #HolyThursday
#MaundyThursday
Mass.

On #HolyDays such as today, my appreciation & gratitude for #OurBlessedMother' Fiat increases.
Following #HolyThursday #Mass, as a family, we visited the #sevenChurches for #Adoration & in Thanksgiving.

Sadly, many Churches were locked & we performed our #Devotions outside.

Gratefully, some were open & all were well attended. Much & many to pray for.
#GoodFriday

Now the thirty years are ended

which on earth He willed to see.

Willingly He meets His Passion,

born to set His people free:

on #TheCross The Lamb is lifted,

there The Sacrifice to be.
#GoodFriday

#DiesIrae

Today, I will try to ponder on one of my favourite reflections - Dies Irae

Sung version: #DiesIrae
Long lines of Faithful waiting to venerate #TheCross #Crucifix
Speechless

Anticipation
let the trumpet of salvation sound forth the victory of so great a King. Let the earth also rejoice, made radiant by such splendor; and, enlightened with the brightness of the eternal King, let it know that the darkness of the whole world is scattered.
"the hallowing of this night puts to flight all wickedness, cleanses sins, and restores innocence to the fallen, and gladness to the sorrowful. It drives forth hatreds, it prepares concord, and brings down haughtiness." ~ Missal

Beautiful moment.
Absolutely prayerful and beautiful Liturgy.
