My friend Joan was teaching at the Children's Liturgy on Sunday and asked her class of 4 year olds "What does resurrection mean?" and one little girl leapt to her feet and said excitedly "It means He bees risen!" I love that.
Alleluia!

Stations of the Cross
My lenten penance was to pray the Stations of the Cross after the weekday Masses. So I wait until everyone, well, almost everyone, has left the church then I say them. I have found a beautiful meditation booklet to use and the stations have really spoken to me and helped me to be more honest with God and with myself. And of course I am even more aware of the sufferings of Jesus.
My daughter recently mentioned the old Protestant hymn "When I survey the Wondrous Cross" and I've incoporated that (silently) into my meditations too. I use the final verse at the Station where Jesus dies on the Cross:
"Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That was an offering far too small.
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my life, my soul, my All.
So moving.
