Glory to Jesus Christ! On Bright Friday (Gregorian Calendar), the Monks of Holy Resurrection Monastery celebrated a special divine liturgy in Mundelein, IL at the University of St. Mary of the Lake.
In addition to these fathers, the Bishop of Toledo, Most Reverend Leonard Blair, Bishop of Toledo concelebrated with the monks and several Byzantine and Roman Catholic brothers.
As the Choir was from Annunciation Byzantine Catholic Church in Homer Glen, Illinois, there was a wonderful musical mix between Eastern Catholic musical traditions as well.
It's a truly wonderful and full liturgy that is worth anyone's 2 hrs, 9 minutes, and 29 seconds of time!
Beyond the singing (which was quite wonderful), the most important part of this is the homily, which I advise everyone to watch and contemplate. It begins about 30 minutes into the video.

I definitely agree. Brilliant homily by Abbot Nicholas!
