Happy Easter! 😃

He is risen! Allelulia! 😃

But I have to say I sometimes wish Lent was longer. I know, I must sound crazy, but I like giving things up and I like the Mass during Lent. It’s so beautiful. I also like reflecting on the Passion (especially watching Mel Gibson’s film) and all that good stuff 🙂 so in a way, the end of Lent for this year is not exacltly sad or bittersweet, but a farewell until next year when I can do it all again. :o

Easter and the Easter season is always fun though 😃

but does anyone else miss Lent like I do?

Christos voskrese!
VoistinuVoskrese!

Christ is risen!
Indeed He is Risen!

Christ is Risen, and you, o death, are annihilated!
Christ is Risen, and the evil ones are cast down!
Christ is Risen, and the angels rejoice!
Christ is Risen, and life is liberated!
Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead;
for Christ having risen from the dead,
is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

To Him be Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen!

I lost six pounds during Lent–that’s a trend I’d like to continue.

So maybe when it comes to eating, I’ll pretend it’s Lent all year long.
 
Holy week is my favorite liturgical week of the year. It is so rich, so fulfilling, so beautiful.
But we can have intimate relationship with God everyday. Even it’s not Lent any more, it does not mean we don’t walk closely with Jesus. We ought to continue our reflection, mortification, penance, and prayer throughout the year. And before we know it, the Holy season will come again.
 
You can continuing meditating on the Passion and practicing fasting or other mortifications throughout the year, cooldude. Indeed, that is much better for us than reserving our mortification to Lent.

True that.

I think I may re-watch The Passion of the Christ several times before next Lent. I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago and I think it is just a great movie; amazing. 👍
 
Happy Easter!! 🙂

I love Lent too 🙂 and the Passion of the Christ is an amazing movie!! I watched it twice this Lent, and it’s VERY moving.
