We have been asked to pray for Evan Penny who has been diagnosed with Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). Evan's grandfather is from the Eastport Peninsula.
Today was spent quietly for the most part making preparations for the Vigil at St Chad's and the celebration of Easter tomorrow.
We had a smaller turn out than I expected, certainly smaller than I hoped for. But I love the Great Vigil. The lighting of the Pascal Candle — Ten Salvation History readings — Renewal of Baptismal Vows — the Easter Eucharist!
Shared in one home communion also.

March 21 - Good Friday
Good Friday services where held in four of the five churches of the Parish.
I choose eight different readings from the Gospels, and appropriate Psalms. Much of what I used was drawn from Living Prayer, by Anthony Bloom. It is my prayer, and hope, that others received from his words some of what I received.
The contrast of Good Friday to the Seder Supper the evening before is always quite real. To move from drinking wine and singing to solemn quietness before the Cross - awe, silence and stillness filled our beings.

March 13
Today was another day filled with snow. Spent some of the day shovelling.
Attempted to travel but the roads were snow covered, so I turned back. Two families in the Parish are now in the midst of grieving, and I was unable to visit with them.
At the Rectory, unable to get about, we watched an episode of Hetty Wainthropp. Anyone who has watched Keeping Up Appearances with recognize Patricia Routledge.
And you'll also note from these comments that I am a fan of wikipedia.
No matter how busy ones' life is - we all need to take time for ourselves and our families. Helena commented that this was the first day in some time that she didn't have to go any where.
