Greetings in the Risen Lord. In celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we rejoice in the gift of new life that God bestows on us every day. As well, with the good news that more of us are being vaccinated – and the numbers of those infected with Covid-19 remain relatively low in our diocese at this point – we thank God that we are in a position to celebrate Mass with fewer restrictions.
The death of George Floyd at the hands – or the knee – of a police officer in Minnesota last week is horrifying. Understandably, it has touched off a storm of protests, violent outbursts, and a new wave of anger, sadness and fear. What are we to do in the face of this? How does the Church respond? What is the Lord telling us at this moment in history?

Tenebrae (Latin for shadows or darkness) is that part of Liturgy of the Hours that was celebrated in the evenings during the Triduum and dates from the 7th or 8th century. The mood is somber, quiet and reflective. The distinctive feature of the service is the gradual extinction of all the lights in the church as we contemplate the temporary triumph of the prince of darkness over the Light of the world. The Tenebrae service will be April 17 at 8pm at the Co-Cathedral of St. Thomas More.
