Amidst all that's going on, it's important to remember that the tomb is still empty.
With church services outlawed, our family has been going through the various liturgies as best we can. If nothing else, my children have a commanding knowledge of the scriptures that are traditionally read this time of year.
I'm one of those Catholics who, now and again for perfectly awful (but I pretend they're good) reasons, skips going to mass. Sometimes I go during the week to compensate.
I'm keenly feeling the absence. It's just another element of the environment that leads to a general sense of irritation. The only consolation is that the weather has been getting better and everyone in my family is okay (so far).
I hope you are similarly blessed and wish you and yours the happiest of Easters. The doom and gloom will pass, because in the Big Story story, the Good Guys win.
Happy Easter!
