(Please note the 8:00 AM Easter Mass will be livestreamed)
From the Pastor:
Happy Easter! He has risen! Hallelujah!
Our forty days of Lent have come to a completion.
The disciplines of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving have hopefully helped us to turn away from sin
and move to a closer relationship with Jesus.
Of course, prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are not disciplines that we only use during Lent,
but rather throughout the year.
Lent is the season that inspires us to be intentional about our relationship with Jesus so that in Easter,
and throughout the liturgical year, we can live in communion with God and one another. Happy Easter!
One of the themes that we will hear throughout the Easter season is
how Jesus’ resurrection and appearance to them consoled them and gave them courage to believe in Him and His Father.
Once they receive the Holy Spirit at Pentecost,
they will move from people who were once ministered to by Jesus to disciples who will minister to others.
In this Easter Season, I pray that you and I have encounters with our Risen Lord.
Like the disciples, perhaps we will encounter Jesus in our prayer or our interactions with others.
I pray these encounters bring us joy and consolation in the truth that God loves us.
I also pray that you and I might be the encounter of Jesus for others.
May our actions and words be loving so that others may see Jesus working through us and be thus consoled by His love.
If Fr. Hugh or I can assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us.
God bless,
Fr. Kevin
