Obviously I haven’t been updating my blog much recently, and that’s for a fairly good reason. I’ve been very busy trying to prepare to be a good and holy priest. Actually, I’ve been busy planning lots of ordination details and trying to figure out how I’m going to survive school until May. I’m really ready to be done! Invitations will be going to the printer soon, so I’ll post it here when they hit the streets.

Despite my beeing rather busy, I did find some time to upload some of my talks about Holy Week and the the Sacred Triduum. You can go to the audio portion of this site by finding the little site navigation box on the left side of this page. You can also just go to http://audio.xanga.com/stunink. These talks are a couple years old, but I get requests for them, so I thought I would just post them. Hopefully they can help you prepare well for Easter.

Speaking of Easter, I am looking forward to heading back to Kansas next weekend to celebrate the holy days with my holy family. This will obviously be my first and only Easter as a deacon. Despite all my study of liturgy and the Triduum, I now have to relearn everything from the standpoint of what the deacon does. I always just used to skip over those parts in the missal that indicated “the deacon does this” because we never had a deacon. Now, we not only have a deacon, but that deacon is me, and I have to figure out which parts are mine. Wish me luck.
