‘Attitude of Gratitude’ observation for Saturday evening

I am grateful that my darling wife and I will be singing in the choir this evening during the Easter Vigil Mass. Yeah, it’s a long one. But it’s the most solemn and special liturgy on the entire Church calendar. It starts dark and slow, but as we recall the events of salvation history, the evening builds to a bright and joyous and triumphant ALLEUIA! He is risen. He is risen indeed!
