After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, This is my beloved Son. Listen to him. Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them. -The 4th Luminous Mystery

Holy Saturday - Easter Vigil

Question from Mark on 3/22/2008:

Dear Fr. Bob,

Does attending Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday evening count as your Easter Sunday obligation? I have been attending the tridium masses for over 15 years during holy week (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil on Saturday) but usually do not attend Mass on Easter Sunday. Again, does Easter Saturday Vigil Mass satisfy the Easter Sunday holy day of obligation?

Thank you, and God Bless. Happy Easter!

Answer by Fr. Robert J. Levis on 3/22/2008:
Mark, Yes attendance at the wonderful Easter Vigil ceremonies does satisfy your Easter Sunday obligation. Fr. Bob Levis
