The Adventures of Holy Week, Franciscan Style

Happy Holy Week Kids!

We are now entering the highest holy days of Christianity. I have heard the rumors of Holy Week at Franciscan University. I have heard that "you haven't experienced holy week until you've celebrated it at FUS." That's quite a promise. I've been excited...though it's been cautious excitement because frankly, the claims are bordering on mythical. We shall see.
So far, Palm Sunday was awesome. And right now I'm on my way to the all campus confession. Not to be confused with general absolution (I think that's what it's called ) where the priest absolves everyone in the room. A quick sign of the cross and BAM! we're absolved. But not tonight...tonight we all stand in line till there's a priest open. I sort of feel like I should have gotten in line this morning with a sleeping bag and a lawn chair. I told one of my friends that we should bring a cooler. How cool would that be...and we'd leave with no sin on our soul which is often different from other situations that involve sleeping bags, lawn chairs and coolers.

I'll let everyone know how it goes!
May your week be holy

I'm so excited about Holy Week, specifically tonight. I heart the adoration time after mass, and feel like I especially need it this year. I can't wait to hear if Franciscan Holy Week lives up to the hype.
