Dear Parishioners and Friends,
Easter Greetings!
Without a doubt, Christmas is the most beloved of the Church’s feast days. And as memorable as Christmas is, the Resurrection of Jesus from the Dead is the single most important event in the life of Jesus. If the Father had not raised Jesus, there would have been no celebration of His birth.
There is not a single witness to the actual resurrection, but all four gospel writers have a unique narrative of the resurrection of Jesus and his live appearances to Mary Magdalene, Mary his mother, his apostles, and many other witnesses.
When Jesus rose from the dead, he changed his disciples’ sorrow into joy. It can be difficult these days to give witness to the resurrection—or witness the resurrection itself with so much tragedy, injustices, and suffering in the world. One person can’t carry the burden of solving such issues and challenges, such as violence, war, and poverty. The Church needs all of us to proclaim the Word of God and testify to the glory of Jesus’ resurrection, in the single most important event as Believers. ALLELUIA!
Happy Easter wishes and Blessings!
Father Tim and Staff
The Word of God
Reading I: Acts 10: 34a, 37-43 God anointed Jesus at His baptism. The forgiveness of our sins comes through the invocation of Christ’s name at our baptism.
Reading II: Colossians 3: 1-4 At His glorious Second Coming, Christ’s presence will initiate the general resurrection of the dead and the righteous bodies among them will radiate God’s glory.
The Gospel: John 20:1-9 The empty tomb is an indisputable fact of Easter morning, as testified even by the Roman soldiers put there as guards..
There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. – Ecclesiastes 3:1
A time to Die: for Deacon David Nash.
A time to Heal: Pray for those who are ill, especially, Pope Francis, Dr. Ron Volino and those confined to their homes and healthcare institutions.
A time for War: Pray for those in worn-torn countries.
A time for Peace: For those in the military who have died in the service of our country.
