Today is Good Friday when the Christian world commemorates - not celebrates - Christ's crucifixion. Last Tuesday our Jewish brethren celebrated their feast of Passover. Yesterday was Holy Thursday when Pope Francis visited a youth detention center in Rome and washed the feet of inmates. And Easter Sunday marks the anniversary of Christ's Resurrection which is the holiest day in the Christian calendar. Expect the churches to be packed - if only on this one day. And on our domestic scene, Cardinal Dolan of New York visited a correctional facility in upstate New York on Wednesday where he celebrated Mass for the inmates. Here is his quote "I love to say Mass in a prison. Nobody ever comes late and nobody ever leaves early." The Mass included a "wine free" communion. In our family home in Cape May, N.J. there is a sign on the refrigerator that reads "Just be nice......." May you and yours have a Happy Easter being nice to each other.
