The only advantage which it has is that I will get to attend Russian Easter services without conflict. But, with the exception of the Old Calandarists, I think Orthodoxy is right about the dating of Easter and the Western Church in the wrong.<BR/><BR/>The advantage of a hard Lent is that you know that the Holy Spirit has been working with you and Easter will be that much more glorious. And it was. <BR/><BR/>How terrible Spring must be for those who are not classically Christian.Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692250288602207814.post-76208001313507606982008-03-30T17:11:00.000-07:002008-03-30T17:11:00.000-07:00A hard Lent?

I'm still in Lent, but today is the Sunday of the Cross, planted smack in the middle of Orthodox Lent, like the Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden. It has been hard for me too. I've been very tired for some reason.<BR/><BR/>But we can rejoice because regardless of how we date Easter, HE is Risen and ever shall be!Alice C.

Easter as a whole will be blessed, if for no other reason than Lent was so hard. <BR/><BR/>And I did appreciate Wendell Berry's letter.Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692250288602207814.post-80413902965822933752008-03-26T19:17:00.000-07:002008-03-26T19:17:00.000-07:00Yes, we must follow Jesus.
