The Easter Triduum & Baseball Later On

I always thought that Lent, lasted from Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday. Now in the Prayer Book @ The Mass of The Lord's Supper, it read that Lent is over, as The Easter Triduum begins with The Last Supper(Passion), Death(Good Friday) & Then The Easter Vigil(Awaiting The Resurrection) followed by The Resurrection on Easter Sunday, or The Rising Of The Pasqual Lamb-The Christ In Glory:

Such is confusion in the World Of The Church-Post Vatican II. Nevertheless, I had an emotional rush as "The Gloria"(Restored as This Blog's Music) was sung for the 1st Time, since the Sunday before Ash Wednesday. I choked back tears, singing that Prayer. Unlike other Masses in the Year, the Procession to the Temporary Place Where the Eucharist is stored, which is The End Of The Mass of The Lord's Supper, is the Singing of Adoration For The Blessed Sacrament. I felt another rush, when "Down In Adoration, Falling"", was sung in Latin. Upon the Alleluia Chant on Easter & The Easter Vigil, it'll be another emotional rush in Prayer, signifying The Risen Christ;

In singing "Praise To The Lord The Almighty", there were words changed from the 1st Time I heard it, in childhood & later years. The Lyric "All You Who Hear, Now To The Altar Draw Near", was changed to "All You who hear, Brothers & Sisters Draw Near", as this reflects that the Great Altars have been turned around, as tables facing the congregation, with the Tabernacles, placed anywhere but at The Centre, as The Christ is Central To The Christian Faith, @ Least in The Church Founded by Him. It's SAD;

@ Least, in Baseball, The Kansas City Royals & Boston Red Sox, played in the Daytime, so as not to conflict with any Holy Thursday Masses, with the Red Sox defeating the Royals, 4-1, with a masterful performance of 10 Strikeouts by Daisuke Matsuzaka, in his Major League Baseball Regular Season Debut;

But, one team chose to play @ Night on Holy Thursday, in that Den Of Iniquity, referred by Red Sox Nation, as "The Toilet", which, despite Papal Masses in 1965 & 1979, Yankee Stadium has a reputation, as a "Toilet", where their Front-Runner Fans from mostly the NJ & SWCT Suburbs, flock to "Worship" the Vaunted, but Greatly-Overrated Shortstop, Mr Derek Sanderson Jeter, who commited 2 Errors for the 2nd Consecutive Game, as the Yankees have erred 6 times in 2 games. The Tampa Bay DEVIL Rays defeated the Evil Empire Yankees, 7-6. There was an ANNOUNCED Crowd of over 52,000, but it was closer to 29,000 or 30,000, due to snow showers in NYC. Guys & Gals, watching Last Night's Yankees Game in the Snow, you were better off in Church than freezing your butts off at that Ball Game;

& The Mets are 3-0. They did NOT Play yesterday & will play tonight;

God is MUCH-MORE Satisfying than any Major League Baseball Game;

Pax Vobiscum;
