The Great Easter Vigil, Holy Saturday with Sister Joan Brown and Clara Sims

The following video was posted by Ghost Ranch this afternoon. Our thanks to Anita Amstutz for sending us the link.

Franciscan Sr Joan Brown, Executive Director of NM Interfaith Power and Light, and Clara Sims, also with NMIPL, invite us into this holiest celebration for Catholics, the Great Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.

In this moment of pandemic and climate crisis with suffering upon us in unimaginable ways this holy ritual recounts our connectedness with ancestors whose lives were not in vain but who walk with us in these times.

With the symbolic fire of transformation and the baptismal waters of cleansing and new life, this holy night is also an invitation into a new commitment to Love, Community and Transformation for the days ahead. It will not be easy, but Love lights the way.
