My highlight was being a sponsor to my daughter in law as she received the sacrament of Confirmation and First Holy Communion at the Easter vigil. She also took it upon herself to sing the Salve Regina at her retreat which touched me so deeply.

Wow, that clip of the entire family cheering the arrival of Fr. Dan just brought a smile on my face! Happy Easter, Yasinski family!

The highlight of my Holy Week was seeing people with tears in their eyes on Good Friday.People being touched by the Passion of Jesus.

My husband's birthday happened to land on Holy Thursday and he decided to take it off from work. What was a wonderful sign of his growth in the Church was that even though he wanted to use his extra days off to catch up on some things. For the first time he made a point to go to all of the Triduum Masses. Then we even were able to make it to Easter Vigil and our usual Easter Sunday Mass. We happened to be absent of the chidren and grandchildren that usually spend Easter weekend with us. My husband was so affected by his complete involvement in the blessed and Holy week he said he thinks he should make it a tradition to take the time off every year. Praise God! Btw it took him 11 years of being involved and going to Mass with me before he officially joined 4 years ago this coming August, but that's a whole other story. 🙏🤲🙏💖

Mine was my youngest getting his feet washed on Holy Thursday and then getting baptized and receiving First Communion at Easter Vigil! My Mom and Dad were present and it was such a blessing!

My favorite part of the day during lent was the Catholic Minute daily video. Truely! My favorite part of the Triduum was witnessing adult baptism and then seeing the Joy of Our Lord in them and those who witnessed it. I will miss the daily videos of the two of you. I love seeing the love between you and the discovery that happens between you. Ken and Janelle, you are a beautiful humble witness of Gods love as individuals, in marriage and in this world. Thank you for this vulnerable witness and May God continue to bless you both and your family. I will be praying for you and your family. I feel the same about the advent series!

Thank you for this video. You and your family inspire me. I am a 76 year old life long Catholic and am still working on it.

I bought Fr Fernandez' book because I loved the series & was excited to see that it goes forward through the Easter season! Love it! My favorite idea from series was the idea of mortification of intellect, memory, and imagination--I had never heard that before and it caused me to reflect MANY times through Lent. I pray the "15 Prayers" every day, & read Luisa Piccarreta's 24 Hours of the Passion during Lent, so Good Friday has taken on a special, more intimate significance for me, more than in any other yr. in my life. It was wrenching, but I was so grateful to realize the immense & overwhelming love God has for us! Thank you for the series & for all of your great prayer videos. God bless you!

Beautiful! Reception of Father Dan brought me to tears. ❤ I missed being with my siblings and their families. We used to have all the excitement and chaos with all the cousins. That family time was always what I looked forward to. Last couple years has divided us. So grateful to offer this suffering to Jesus..thank you for all you give us!✝️🙏🙏❤ loved your Lenten series. It brought me closer to Jesus in special way...

Ken mentioned about being distracted at the Saturday vigil...Whew, yes and that's ok. As for me it was such a blessing just to be with the whole family this year and celebrate this Glorious Holy Easter Day together. Thinking it has to be an amazing, powerful prayer lifted up to Our Lord, when He sees us loving each other and praying together in His Presence. ❤ I am so grateful that He has also giving me some down time to rest now and look back on all the extra blessings and activities He so generously poured into my life throughout this Easter season. 🌷🌱🐇☀

My personal highlight of the Easter Triduum is when my class with special needs created a video on the Stations of the Cross.When we shared it with the whole school many teachers and students were touched when they witnessed the devotion in the expressions of my students who are all non- verbal.Praise God that my class with multiple exceptionalities was instrumental in leading the school in prayer.

[danyasinski]

Thanks Ken and Janelle! Thanks for your witness too! Being a priest is great. There is no life like it!

My highlight was experiencing Holy Thursday mass, the passion service in Friday, Passion play, and Easter Vigil for the “first time” with my husband, after 10 years of marriage!! I have been praying for years and slowly he is becoming interested in participating. 🙏🏼💗 also, I went to confession on my own this year, he is not ready for that yet and I respect it, but I have faith God is working on it and one day he will go. Also we are praying the divine mercy novena together for the first time! I have been praying it on my own the last few years, so this is very special.💗🙏🏼

[bjdiehl]

What a great collection of meditations. I still remember last year St Alphonsus. Can’t be a year ago. The best thing about this lent was increasing the number of Rosaries I said which I promise sharpens the conscience.

Easter Mass is always so beautiful and such a highlight!

[taramcdonaldortiz]

Beautiful Mass @ St. Andrew's in Clemson. SC seeing all the young college students there was my Easter highlight ..
the future of our Church, made my heart full

I had surgery on Easter Monday. Therefore, I had to be in quarantine from Holy Thursday thru Monday. It seemed like it would be a bummer because this is my favorite time of the liturgical year. However, I am grateful that there are so many beautiful devotions and live Masses on the internet. I was able to do Stations of the Cross, Divine Mercy chaplet and Good Friday service and Easter Mass with Fr. Mike. That was such an awesome welcome to your brother, Fr. Dan. God bless him, you both, and all of your family.
