Photo of the Day: 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Pentecost, St. Cecilia Church, Englewood NJ

A number of people, including myself, lined up after morning Mass on Pentecost Sunday in front of this display at my longtime spiritual home, St. Cecilia Roman Catholic Church of Englewood, NJ. 

The white tags here, in English and Spanish, list the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit” understanding, wisdom, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord.

Photo of the Day: Stations of the Cross, St. Cecilia Parish, Englewood NJ

I took the attached photo late this morning, when I joined hundreds of other parishioners gathered on Demarest Avenue outside St. Cecilia Church in Englewood NJ for the Stations of the Cross. 

This procession of pageantry and devotion through the streets surrounding our venerable church represented the solemn Good Friday reenactment of the last, agonized journey of Christ in atonement for our sins.
