ALLELUIA HE IS RISEN! [April 20] The news reaches us that the One who was crucified now lives! Death can not hold the Lord of life and the Father’s love for His Son puts death to death and raises His beloved Son to life! We have travelled with Him those forty days of Lent, sacrificed and prayed, offered our treasures to our visiting Sisters as well as the people of the world through our Rice Bowl collection last weekend. The Last Supper is a memory of a Savior ready to take on death for us, and the Friday we call “Good” renders the once-carpenter preacher a beaten prophet. But today it all changes. The stone has been rolled back, the tomb is empty, He is Risen … Alleluia!
Many thanks to all who have made this Lenten journey one of faith and hope. Holy Week brought us to those sacred places of old to walk with Him and in the end, to die with Him. Our thanks to Father Ken for leading our annual mission each night/day of Holy Week and giving us insight and inspiration into what we celebrate! Our gratitude, as always, to all of you in your generosity to our Easter floral collection in memory of our loved ones. Their names are at the Easter shrine for the entire season and remembered at all of our Masses. May they rest in His peace. Of course, our celebrations are made complete with the music of our choir, vocalists and instrumentalists led by our own Bryan Barrette who takes such pride in his work—and it shows! Our thanks to all our ministers of the Altar, especially our MCs and servers who guided each Mass and service with such precision, reverence and care.
And so now the Easter season begins: 40 days until the Ascension of Our Lord as we bask in His risen presence and the power of His love that destroys even death and dispels the darkness in our lives. For His light, His life, and His resurrection were not just for a day, nor for a season, but for eternity. Alleluia! He is Risen!
