Christ is risen! He is truly risen!
Christos anesti! Alethos anesti!
El masih qam! Haqan qam
Easter Sunday at last. Was at the Holy Sepulchre last night at 11pm for the Office of Readings (Vigil) and procession around the Empty Tomb. Finished at 1.30am but had to meet Hidri (whom some of you have sponsored) who came from Tel Aviv to join the Easter liturgy. Managed to go home at 2.30am but hardly slept because at 4am was back at the Holy Sepulchre to celebrate the first Mass of Easter inside the Empty Tomb. It was a rare privilege. Remembered you all inside the Tomb during Mass; all the family, friends, students, benefactors, living and dead.
Last night's Vigil at the Empty Tomb was especially meaningful when a little girl went up to the Altar of the Appearance to Mary Magdalene, knelt down, clasped her hands, closed her hands and prayed. It was very very beautiful.
