From The Pastor: 4-1-2018

With all the priests in the rectory and on behalf of the Sisters in the convent and our Parish Staff, I want to wish you all a Happy Easter!  This winter has been a tough one with the unremitting cold and days and days of darkened skies.  Perhaps a winter of darkness and cold is just what we need to really celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord at Eastertime.  The fact is, Spring is coming!  (It really is!)  New life will be all around us in nature.  After the seeming death of the  natural world, the next few months will remind us that winter does indeed turn to spring and summer!  The  natural world reminds us that even in the darkness and cold of death, things are not what they seem.  Deep down there is new life!  How true that is in our own lives as Christians.  When everything seems dark and dead, Christ enters our lives as Light and Life!  Even when at the end of life in this world we die, our faith reminds us that we will live forever.  Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord, wants nothing more than to dispel the  darkness in this life and to bring us to new life in the world to come.  Easter reminds us of this truth.  May  we never forget it!  May you experience the Risen Lord in your life and may you, at the moment of your death, see the Risen Lord face to face!  Again, Happy Easter!
