  • Good Friday: Prostrate before the stripped altar
  • Behold, behold the wood of the Cross . . .
  • Communion, but not Mass
  • Psalms are sung
  • And again, somber darkness
  • From the fire, the Pascal candle will be lit
  • Until it has filled the Church
  • Whence the light is spread
  • There is purification by incense
  • All the lights come up: He is risen!
  • Though the service is long and late, the congregation is large
  • One catechumen is to be baptized
  • Welcoming new Catholics is joyous
  • They receive the Sign of the Cross . . .
  • As with the light earlier, the joy spreads
  • In many ways, a summation of Easter Vigil
  • And now there are ten new Catholics
  • Preparing for the Communion Sacrifice of the newly risen Lord
  • The new Catholics await their first Holy Communion
  • Receiving the Host for the first time
  • The Easter Vigil is ended
  • Austin is honored
  • It is Easter. The Lord shines in glory.
  • Maundy Thursday homily
  • Maundy Thursday: It begins

  • Good Friday
  • Maundy Thursday: Darkness falls
