It is 5:30 am and once again all is quiet in the Basilica. I was able to sleep a little durin the night (on a hard bench). The quiet of the Basilica amplifies the cacophany of a million chirping birds in the Old City excited by the first light. We kept vigil tonight. This was to remind us of the time Jesus spent in the tomb as we go in to celebrate a Mass of Resurrection this morning - maybe chant at 4 in the morning can be our reminder of the descent into hell :)
The morning quiet must be a reminder of that early mornin trip of the women to the tomb. The trip durin which they encountered an angel who told them "He is not here. He is risen!" And that is tye message of this morning's celebration in the tomb of Jesus - He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!
