Happy Easter! Rejoice! This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!! Today, we begin the Easter Season—our 50-day meditation on the mystery of Christ’s Resurrection. Our Gospel today tells us about the disciples’ discovery of the empty tomb. It concludes by telling us that they did not yet understand that Jesus had risen from the dead. Thus, the details provided are not necessarily meant to offer proof of the Resurrection. The details invite us to reflect upon a most amazing gift—that is faith in Jesus and His Resurrection.
I received many compliments about this year’s Mission. Father Chris was very inspiring, helping us to understand and reflect on the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
The second collection next weekend, April 15th and 16th will be for the Building Maintenance Collection.
I wish you and your family a very Happy and Blessed Easter day!
