Holy Saturday- a strange day, indeed

Great post from Bishop Paul D. Etienne of the Diocese of Cheyenne. Chick B

If you have a minute, read this…

Msgr. Charles Pope of the Archdiocese of Washington has so many wonderful insights.  Here, he explores the Last Supper and what our Lord had to endure the night before he went to His death.  Read it and weep.  Then, praise and thank Him for his inestimable love. The Chicks

Hosanna in the Highest!

Gentiles, Lutherans, and Pretzels
