50 days of Easter
Church celebrates victory of the cross
While the Church’s liturgical calendar dictates 40 days to prepare for Christ’s death and resurrection, it further calls for 50 days to celebrate the fullness of the Paschal Mystery.
The three days in between Lent and Easter — the triduum, a liturgical season unto itself — bring to life the agony of Christ’s passion and the triumph of His resurrection.
Holy Thursday, the first day of the Paschal Triduum, coincides with Jewish Passover, which commemorates when God liberated the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Christ liberates us from being slaves to sin.
“If Christ is not risen, then we are still in our sins,” said Fr. Joseph Terra, FSSP, in
his homily during the Saturday Easter Vigil Mass at Mater Misericordiae Mission, which celebrates the sacraments according to the 1962 missal.
“But He is risen, and in that we have hope,” he said. Such hope combats despair as well as presumption, which comes from pride. “There is nothing that brings us greater hope than the resurrection of Christ.”
Presiding over the Easter Vigil Mass at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted said freedom is key to those choosing to enter the Catholic Church, and a key part of the Easter season.
“The stone is rolled away from the entrance to the tomb. Christ rises from the dead and goes forth freed from death, able to free all of us from the fear of death and any hold it has on us,” the bishop said, explaining how freedom is part of the Paschal Mystery.
Christ even freely chose to give His life on the cross.
“He freely chose to remain on the cross to save others, to save all others, every other human being,” the bishop said. “That is freedom, the freedom that is ready to suffer and even to give one’s life in love.”
Ignorance, fear and inordinate attachments, like addictions, hinder freedom, the bishop said.
“Fear can diminish our freedom in the public square when lies about Christ and His Church are told,” he said, “when falsehoods about abortion or contraception, about human dignity and marriage, are bandied about, and when religious freedom is threatened by actions of some departments of the federal government.”
Freedom of religion is as central to Easter as it is to the Jewish Passover. Moses asked Pharaoh to free the Israelites so they could worship God.
“Controversy arises from being true to what one believes, whether popular or not,” the bishop said. “More importantly, freedom arises from learning the truth, professing that truth, and living the truth in love.”
Closet Catholic
It was “the other disciple” in John’s Gospel who first arrived with Mary of Magdala at the tomb on Easter morning.
He didn’t have a name, but did know his role was to believe in and share the message of the resurrection. It’s the same responsibility Catholics worldwide have today.
“In whom does the resurrected Jesus speak to the world?” Fr. John Coleman asked a comfortably full church during the Easter vigil. “The answer, I hope, is in the people who we just baptized, the people we just confirmed, the people who are just about to receive Communion and the rest of us.”
It’s because of Christ’s resurrection, and through the gifts of the Holy Spirit, that it’s possible to overcome the tomb of fear, doubt, pain and the like, he said.
The St. Andrew the Apostle pastor went on to compare the response to receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit with tangible gifts. There’s the “Ahh, you shouldn’t have. No really…” response, the “Oh, this is nice” but then not use it approach or “That was right on.”
“I have a feeling, for many of us, the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are those we put on a shelf,” Fr. Coleman said, “and yet the gifts of the Holy Spirit are there for us to draw upon.”
He gently challenged the crowd to be “the best version of yourself” that God intended.
For hundreds throughout the diocese who entered the Church this Easter season through the sacraments of baptism and confirmation, that’s what they now have the grace to do.
“I’ve been sort of a closet Catholic for a very long time,” Gregg Johnson told The Catholic Sun.
His mother was Catholic and father a Mormon. That left the kids not really wholly embracing any faith.
“It’s been a calling for many, many years and it’s culminated here,” Johnson said following a two-and-a-half-hour liturgy at St. Andrew the Apostle.
He admitted he even felt a little pull for some of the six years that his commute took him by the Chandler parish. The time he felt it the most, however, was when he was forced to surrender his Bible upon entering Saudi Arabia.
“Before it was a nice biblical story, because it wasn’t personal,” Johnson said, “it wasn’t ‘He died for me.’”
“Now I ask, what is His will? It’s really hard, especially when you’ve been totally self-reliant.”
He knows that some of his friends and family still view Christianity as a weakness, but to him, it’s a tremendous strength to rely on God.
“We have significant strength in the Body of Christ. That’s what this whole journey has been about: learning to be a part of the Body of Christ,” Johnson said.

A suspended 'G' in the centre of the lodge above the Masonic Altar.
The Masonic letter G
Source: Masonic Vibes
by Paul Foster Case
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. St. John 1:1.
All in all that is all there is to the letter G. But I have found that if you make things to simple people tend to take them as unimportant.
I have not been able to determine when the letter G was introduced into Speculative Masonry as a symbol.
The letter G is not derived from the Operative Masons of the Middle Ages, and formed no part of the architectural decoration of old cathedrals.
Whether it entered the symbolism under the influence of those Rosicrucian’s and Qabalists who joined the Order during the last half of the 17th century, or whether it was introduced at some time subsequent to 1717, when the first Grand Lodge was established at the Apple-tree Tavern in London, is impossible to tell.
The letter G is the initial of Geometry. This makes it a symbolic summary of the entire Masonic system. The heart of Freemasonry is a doctrine founded on the science of geometry. In the old Masonic Constitutions it is specifically stated that Masonry and Geometry are one and the same.
It is no secret that the letter G is a symbol for the Deity. It so happens that God is the English name of the Grand Architect of the Universe. The fact that G is the first letter of God is not the only connection between the symbol and the Deity.
Its Greek equivalent is the initial of Gaia, the earth Mother, eldest born of Chases, whose name is the root of the noun geometria, geometry.
Gimel, the Hebrew correspondence to G, is the initial of gadol, majesty, and of gebur, strong, words used to designate the Deity throughout the Hebrew sacred writings. Gimel itself is regarded by the wise men of Israel as being the alphabetical sign of the sacred wisdom which is founded on the science of geometry.
So basically we are back to St. John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
When I was raised to a Master Mason, I was told to learn the following lesions:
The Pot Of Incense Symbolizes man, the pot being the physical body, the Incense being the mind of man, and when they are lit, the heat given off being the spirit of man as given to him by God.
The Beehive Symbolizes unity of purpose, with just one leader, for life and just one goal, the betterment of the hive.
The Anchor And Ark The Anchor is an emblem of Jesus Christ who gave his life to ensure us a safe harbor to find rest in. The Ark is an emblem of God, that divine ark that carries us through a lifetime of trials and tribulations, and finally to our Heavenly home.
The 47th Problem of Euclid Is commonly excepted to represent the physical body, the psyche, and the spiritual, and this figure being the complete man. Let us just suppose the 47th problem of Euclid represented the life spirit, the human spirit, and the divine spirit. The life spirit being Friendship, the human spirit being Morality, and the divine spirit being Brotherly Love. This figure could represent the perfect man.
The Hour Glass Is an emblem of human life. Like the hour glass, when the first grain of sand falls it is a fact that the last grain of sand will fall too. When man is born it is a fact that he will also die. The difference being that man has control over how he lives his life and the sand only falls down.
The Sword Reminds us that we should be ever watchful and guarded in our thoughts, words, and actions, because all of these will be recorded in the Great Book of Life, that all men are judged by when" they die.
The Scythe Is used as an emblem of Death but it is in reality an emblem of transition from one life to another. Because as this mortal life comes to an end it brings with it the beginning of a spiritual life.
When I went through York Rite Masonry, it was explained to me the meaning of all these lesions.
When I went through my reception into Scottish Rite Masonry, even more lesions were taught and explained to me.
When I was admitted to the Thirty-Third Degree, came the Surprise of my life. No more lesions, no more explanations, I was only told to remember a few simple facts and to do one thing, which changed my whole outlook on life.
1. Any man who fails, in his duties to God, fails mankind and himself.
2. While you live, you should work to secure for all people their rights and voice in its government.
3. You must labor to enlighten and teach mankind.
4. To teach the people their power and their rights.
5. To let the enemies of mankind be your enemies.
6. Come to no terms with them, but complete surrender of their ways.
7. That even though I been exalted to the Thirty-Third Degree, I would still be among my equals in every Blue Lodge and that all “worthy” Master Masons are my Brothers.
Now the one thing that changed my life was, I was informed that it was not enough to just know or just understand the lessons of Masonry, I had to live the lessons of Masonry.
Believing this I feel that I will be “A life time Apprentice” my whole life. When the time comes to return this physical body back to the ground from wince it came.
The sprit that lived in this body will be returned to God as a “Fellow Craft” and then at the feet of God the labors of my sprit will be judged by God.
Then and only then, if God finds the work of my sprit as “true work, good work”, will my sprit be raised from a dead level to a living perpendicular on the angle of a square by God.
In this belief, I will live my life as “A life time Apprentice”, always trying to subdue my passions and learning to improve myself.
The Masonic letter G reminds us that our every act is done in the sight of the Great Architect of the Universe.
"By letters four and science five, this “G” aright doth stand, in due Art and Proportion; you have your answer, friend.”
What are the "letters four"? It is believed that they stand for "YHWH", the name of the Great Architect of the Universe (pronounced "Yahway". (sometimes pronounced Jehovah) in the ancient Hebrew language, from which the Bible was translated:
Which is the 5th science? Geometry.
The Letter G stands for "Geometry", which is the mathematical science upon which Architecture and Masonry were founded.
When did the letter G become part of the Square and Compass? No one knows exactly, but it is believed to be somewhere between 1730 and 1768, here in the United States. The "G" is not used in the center of the square and compasses in all jurisdictions around the world.
Letter G
In Hebrew, the language our Bible was originally written in, it is called Gheemel (or Gimel) and has a numerical value of 3.
Throughout history, we see reference to the number 3 when we speak of the Supreme Architect of the Universe... no matter which language we speak!
Gimel (in slightly different forms) is the 3rd letter of many Semitic languages including Phoenician, Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, and Syriac.
Phonecian: Gimel (11th century BCE)
Greek: Gamma (9th century BCE)
Aramaic: Gamal (800 BCE to 600 CE) (800 years Before Common Era
to 600 years after Common Era)
Hebrew: Gimel (3rd century BCE)
Syriac: Gomal / Gamal (2nd century BCE)
G Throughout the Centuries
B.C.E. means "Before Common Era". The Common Era (C.E.), also known as the Christian Era and sometimes as the Current Era, is the period beginning with the year 1 onwards.
The term is used for a system of reckoning years that is chronologically equivalent to the Anno Domini (A.D.), which is Latin for "In the year of our Lord".
Therefore, the 3rd letter of the Phonecian alphabet, "gimel", was in use 11 centuries Before the Common Era, which is 8 centuries before the Hebrew language...give or take a few hundred years.
Why give or take a few hundred years? While scholars who study languages are very thorough; we have to remember that they have very little from which to study.
Much of our knowledge of ancient languages comes from the study of hieroglyphics carved into stone and the subsequent attempt to determine which time frame they were carved; from mummies and their accompanying sarcophagi (carved wooden coffins), etc.
Note, however that while the letter G is the 7th letter in the English, Latin and Romanic alphabets, in Russian, and some others, it is 4th; in the Arabic the 5th, and in the Ethiopian language, the 20th.
These languages are much "younger" than the "ancient" languages and most, therefore, are propagations (changes that occurred) to the ancient languages throughout the centuries due to many factors.
The letter G in Freemasonry stands for both the Great Architect of the Universe and Geometry....or, to be more technically correct, it stands for Geometry under the Great Architect of the Universe.
Just as the Supreme Architect of the Universe watches the revolutions of the planets and stars in the sky, so does HE, who placed each of us here, watch each of our movements, hears not only our words, but our thoughts, as well ...and it is to HIM that we are ultimately responsible.

Palazzo Orengo developed around an ancient tower between the 17th and 18th centuries; when Sir Thomas Hanbury purchased the property in the second half of the 19th century, it needed major restructuring. The renovations maintained the role of the villa's emerging structure, increasing its visibility and panoramic views. In the past, the palazzo had played a defensive and strategic role. The renovations kept the ancient tower and the mighty walls.
At the time of Sir Thomas' death in 1907, the garden stocked at least 5,800 different species, but after the First World War, the garden went into a state of decline. His son Sir Cecil Hanbury and daughter-in-law Lady Dorothy Hanbury (1890-1972), decided in 1925 to start replanting and developing the garden to perpetuate the family legacy. Dorothy continued to live at La Mortola after Cecil died in 1937.
During the Second World War, the Gardens were confiscated, occupied first by Italian troops and then by German troops, and suffered severe damage. 1944 was the black year of the property which was bombed, looted and, of course, abandoned. In 1945 Dorothy managed to return and with just twenty gardeners she began the rebuilding work, supported by her second husband the Reverend Rutven Forbes.
The Hanbury Gardens were purchased by the Italian State in 1960 and committed to the Istituto Internazionale di Studi Liguri [International Institute of Ligurian Studies]; as of 1983, they have been managed by the University of Genoa in cooperation with the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities regarding the protection of architectural components. Visitors have been admitted to the gardens since 1872.

I went to see David Hasselhoff really just so I could say I'd seen David Hasselhoff. But he was actually pretty entertaining. He had some interesting stories to tell, and I was surprised to discover he can actually sing (maybe all those Germans aren't quite as nuts as we suppose).
He also admitted that Baywatch Nights was one of the worst shows ever made :)
