Easter

We had a great Easter. Justin and I went to the Easter Vigil Mass. One of my favorite sights is seeing hundreds of people processing into a dark Church with candles. During those minutes I feel a warm embrace of Christ. The Mass was beautiful. My favorite part was the adult baptism. It was incredible to see this man come forward wanting to become part of the Catholic Church. He climbed into a little pool and was dunked under three times. Water went all over the place. There were kids who came close to the pool to see the baptism. Almost all of them got splashed with Holy Water. Once the man had been dunked father took the bottle of Holy Oil and dumped it on his head. The man then went back in the back and changed into his nice Easter clothing. When he came back out he had the biggest smile on his face. It was really cool to see him transform from the most nervous man before to the happiest man in the Church afterwards. I was really glad that we got to witness the baptism and be a part of this parish during our time of formation.
