Alleluia, The Lord has risen! We are beginning the most joy-filled season of the Church year as we celebrate the reality of the crucified and risen Lord for 50 days. Throughout the season (especially through the sprinkling rite at Mass), we are given a visible reminder of our death in Christ and rising to new life at our baptism. We bask in the risen glow of The Lord, and we let His Spirit lead us to new ways of living our new life in Him.
I have witnessed the risen Lord and His Spirit working in many wonderful ways in this parish in these first ten months that I have been here. Just as the disciples of the risen Lord were excited about their future, so am I excited about the future work of The Lord here. I pray you share that excitement with me.
Starting Easter Monday (April 25), you are invited to join us at 8:45 a.m. on the days we have daily Mass to pray morning prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours, the prayer of the Church. Prayer books will be provided which will remain in church after we pray the morning prayer. Let this prayer form come alive in and through you as we begin the Easter season.
