AN EASTER PRAYER
My Risen Lord today we sing you glory. Today we feel the powerful embrace of your Divine Love, the Love that lead you to die a cruel and most painful death, to pay a debt you did not owe, for us who owed, a debt we could not pay. Today we celebrate the victory of that Love over sin and death and, in Your Resurrection, we feel invited to share that victory with you, by rising with you to a new life. Where, with your help, we can be the children of the Resurrection, the children of the Light, the bearers of Your Life, the sharers of Your Love. Today You tell us that if we are willing to die with you to the ugliness of sin, You can help rise with You to a life which is from God. A Life graced with the beauty of all that You said of all that You are as, with You, we can become priests, prophets, and kings, temples of the spirit and the living image of the Triune God. Lord, make us always aware that we are to be the living proof of Your Resurrection by making You present in our communities by living as You taught us and by loving as you Loved us. Amen. Fr. Lou

`
Human life is a relationship. It is only in a relationship, and not closed in on ourselves, that we can have life. And the fundamental relationship is the relationship with the Creator, or else other relations are fragile. Hence, it is essential to choose God. A world empty of God, a world that has forgotten God,

A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR
THE LORD IS RISEN: ALLELUIA
The heavenly powers rejoice
because Christ is risen. All
creation exults because death is
conquered and darkness has
vanished forever. Holy Mother
Church joyously proclaims that
the Lord has ransomed us with His
blood and now lives in glory
forever.
It is EASTER, the solemnity of
the RESURRECTION OF JESUS.
And as the risen Lord shines upon
us, we sing His praises, we delight
in His victory, we see “THE
NIGHT AS CLEAR AS DAY”, we
bless the power of this beautiful
event, which weds heaven to earth,
reconciles men to God, “dispels all
evil, washes guilt away, restores
lost innocence, brings mourners to
joy; casts out hatred, brings us
peace and humbles earthly pride”
But Easter is not just a
celebration of beauty and glory. St
Paul sees in it necessary and
effective practical applications to
our lives as children of the
Resurrection . “HIS DEATH” he
says “WAS DEATH TO SIN,
ONCE FOR ALL; HIS LIFE IS
LIFE FOR GOD, IN THE SAME
WAY, YOU MUST CONSIDER
YOURSELVS DEAD TO SIN
BUT ALIVE FOR GOD IN
CHRIST JESUS.” For a true
Christian, the Easter experience
can only follow death to sin. St
Paul sees: “OUR OLD SELF
CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST SO
THAT THE SINFUL BODY
MIGHT BE DESTROYED AND
WE MIGHT BE SLAVES TO SIN
NO LONGER.” During the
Lenten preparation to the Feast of
the Resurrection, we have signified
our acceptance of the personal
crucifixion, by practicing some
forms of self-denial and of physical
penance. Such practice should
continue until we reach perfection,
and that is a task which lasts all
the days of our life.
Continued on next column
A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR
Continued
We have to crucify our pride,
destroy our lust, overcome our
hatred, conquer our anger, eliminate
our envy, shake away our sloth,
moderate our desire for earthly
goods and kill our gluttony before it
kills us. We have to rid ourselves of
sin, avoid occasions of sin, grow
sensitive to even the smallest
imperfection and then…
…then we can begin to LIVE FOR
GOD IN CHRIST.
Living for God in Christ is the best
definition of HUMAN LIFE. We
who are the children of the
Resurrection, have to accept that
definition and make the heart of our
human experience.
WE LIVE IN GOD FOR CHRIST
when we bring to others a ray of
sunshine and a touch of heaven;
when we share with others the glory
and beauty of Easter by helping them
improve their quality of life and urge
them on to join Jesus and us in the
conquest of death and sin; when we
truly care for our brothers and
sisters, that is we care enough to act
in their behalf, rather than just talk
for them, when we LOVE GOD IN
ALL HIS CHILDREN.
FATHER, HOW WONDERFUL
YOUR CARE FOR US! HELP
YOUR CHILDREN
EVERYWHERE FIND THEIR
EASTER VICTORY BY WASHING
AWAY THEIR SINS AND
GROWING TOGETHER IN YOUR
HOLINESS.
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL
FR. LOU
