Holy Week

Midway through Holy Week and how are we holding up? 

Our parish held a big after church luncheon on Cloak/Palm Sunday with no snack planned for Easter Sunday as most families will be having a meal at home or will be out of town visiting relatives. 

Maundy Thursday we have business in town, a birthday celebration, and some gardening at the church before a Seder dinner and solemn church service.

Good Friday has traditionally been my time to act like a disciple. I flee and return to my nets and fishing boat which has been idle for Lent because of the Purple Martins nesting in the birdhouses on my pier.  

I used to always close my office on Good Friday while many offices closed on the Monday following Easter. There were many times that I had to explain to my colleagues the significance of Good Friday and why we were closed. 

I also explained why I went fishing. 

Not exactly what think about when you say the word, "evangelize".
