The Altars of Repose

Spending time with our Lord

God’s graces overflowed at the Holy Thursday Mass and as we visited the Altars of Repose at seven different churches. My husband and I started at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Brownsville and made our way to our home parish St. Anthony Church in Harlingen, Texas

Among the churches we visited were Our Lady of Guadalupe Church where I was baptized; St. Joseph Church where Cesar received all his Sacraments of Initiation; and St. Luke’s Church where we were married. The pilgrimage filled us with immense joy. This was our first time to practice this ancient tradition. It was a grace-filled evening and a perfect start to the Triduum.
