When did I most feel most fragmented this week?
I was so busy last week just trying to stay on top of things that I didn’t really get soak in the beauty of Triduum. I made it to church for services, but wish that I’d been able to make more time for prayer and contemplation.
I received a pseudo-“drunk dial” phone call during the week. There’s nothing like a mid-night conversation with a loved one who calls because he’s bored and lonely but cannot keep a train of thought going for more than a few seconds.
I was quite pleased to accept a kind offer from a friend, but when she failed to follow through I had to scramble to make alternative arrangements at the last minute. Grrrr…
When did I most feel most whole this week?
The Easter Vigil Mass was beautiful! All 3 hours worth of it! Most especially the Paschal fire and the cappas. (But I’m going to miss “cappa hugs.”)
Although I’m away from my family, through the generosity of my friend’s in-laws I had a home-cooked family dinner for Easter.
Woody Allen said “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.” I’m pretty sure he’s laughing at one of my plans right now, which makes me happy. (I’m sure your prayers helped with this, so thanks folks.)
I love singing Alleluias. They brighten my day and remind me that death is not the end of the story.
Buona notte.

The fragmented/whole perspective is one of my favorite ways of asking the Sleeping with Bread question.
It is such a strong visual picture for me.
I missed our Easter service. :( But I am glad you enjoyed your Easter Vigil Mass and a good home-cooked meal.
*sigh*
Ah yes.....the drunk dial call. Why is it they never come at 5pm?
Wait.
I can answer that!
I, too, am glad you had an enjoyable Easter--and that the Big Guy has a good laugh now and then at your (and MY) plans.
His tend to be a whole lot more inclusive than mine ever were. *shrugs* Maybe that's why He's the All Powerful, All Knowing and I'm not, huh?
;-)
I hope you had a blessed week!
