Over the Easter weekend we went to confession in French, Good Friday Mass and a packed Easter Sunday service.
During my confession the priest, Père Noel, allowed me to say the Act of Contrition in English because the French version was so long.
At today’s Mass, in the sermon, when the priest was describing Peter’s laboured run to Christ’s tomb he told the congregation that a child in his previous parish had described Jesus’s disciples as nuls.
Père Noël said he was inclined to agree with him.
When it came time for Communion , he told us there were extra Eucharistic Ministers – whom he called distributeurs – which I thought were cash points.
Cath noticed all the distributeurs were men. I told her to tell the priest that she is an official cash point and so could help out in the future.
Happy Easter.
