i have just discovered your podcast and really enjoyed listening to this episode. I always feel "shortchanged" 😉 these days that hardly anyone does all the readings at the Vigil because to me that's always felt like being part of thousands of years of history, of communities that have listened to the same readings and teachings explaining these mysteries
