"Christ, our light !"
"Thanks be to God !"
To three cries of these phrases , I bade adieu to my childhood. During the Service of Light in yesterday's Easter Vigil mass, the whole church was enveloped in darkness, and slowly but surely, the Paschal candle - the symbol of Christ's light - was brought in to the church, and everyone drew light from it. I did.
The church was bathed in a glimmer of warm light... the light that put an end to the darkness in the building, and the darkness in our hearts.
Today, I write my 600th post.
Today, it's Easter Sunday, the feast of the Lord's resurrection.
And today, I turn 18, and I acquire legality.
Truly, it's a wonderful day to celebrate a birthday. 2009.04.12. A wonderful day to contemplate the risen Lord. All the embers of my childhood are completely burnt, and I step into a great new life ahead. Life as a legal adult. Today, I rise with the resurrected Lord into peace. I rise into a new life with the Holy Spirit in my heart.
If you ever do pass by this post, I'd like you to share with me : what's your Easter like ?
A happy birthday to all who are born on the 12th of April, and a blessed Easter to all brethren. Double blessings if both of these apply !
P.S. On Kingdom Hearts Wiki, just a few days shy of my "legality day", the admins placed a mini Keyblade on my user page - a sign of authority.
