You can say that again! I stayed sitting. If I’d knelt throughout I’d still be there on my benders!
Packed church at Stations (10am) and the Good Friday Liturgy (3pm) with standing rook only also packed.
Palm Sunday was packed, standing room only. Holy Thursday was pretty well attended, but there was still some seating available. Holy Thursday Evening prayer was not that well attended at all, but most of the time, neither is Eucharistic Adoration at my church. It saddens me in one way, and in another way I’m very thankful. The church is very quiet during Eucharistic Adoration, Evening prayer etc, so its much easier to concentrate, meditate & listen in the stillness of my heart to what God is telling me. Its also very sad though, because many Catholics are not taking advantage of these hidden treasures that God has bestowed upon us, that help make us grow in our faith, and in our love and service to God & others. We had a crosswalk Today in my town, that is sponsored by many different churches in my community, and that had a very nice turnout. We just had 3:00 veneration of the cross/Eucharist at my church and that was pretty well attended, but again, the church wasn’t packed. We have our final Stations Of The Cross for Lent tonight at 7:00 and i’m betting that its gonna be pretty crowded, it usually is.
