Christ is Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

Traditionally, the eight days of the Paschal Octave have absolutely no fasting in them. Because of Jerome's medical diet, that is only partially true for us this week. However, we have worked out ways for him to enjoy most of the foods we have during this time, and are planning some of those foods that we would normally eat for later parts of the Paschal season. I even found sugar free, naturally cured bacon for him so he can break the fast after the vigil with us with our bacon and eggs in the wee hours of the morning.

Blessed Feast!
