Thursday was abnormally busy. After class (4) I came home to get ready for the Seder Supper/ Holy Thursday mass. Sarah and I got all dolled up and wore dresses. It was amazingly fun for a long mass... but after mass we got to partake in the actual Seder Supper with roasted lamb and bitter herbs, and unleavened bread... etc.

So my fifty and forty nine are going to be a two-in-one combo.
Newman Center.
The Newman Center is amazing. I absolutely love being a part of the Catholic community here at UMD. The friends I have made are amazing and encouraging. Not to mention, there's the whole thing of my faith that was really sparked up here.
I was always a Catholic, but I'll admit I was more luke-warm. Now, I'm "hot". This week at RCIA Father Mike told us a comment that one of his sisters (or friends.. I can't remember) said.
"God likes his Christians like I like my coffee, either hot or cold, but not in-between"
It makes total sense. Hot coffee: yum. Iced coffee: yum. Cool coffee that is supposed to be hot: yuck. Warm coffee that is supposed to be iced: yuck.
So, there you have it. The two in one: Newman Center. I like it because it re-ignited my faith and because of the friends I have made.
It counts. I promise. I make the rules.
This weekend I might not be able to post both days, so I'll make sure to catch up on Monday.
My family is coming up to Duluth to celebrate my confirmation (tomorrow!!!) and then they'll be here for some of Sunday. So I'm not sure how promptly I'll be making updates.
Always,
H.Eilene
