A Note from Fr. Dan

So it begins… It has begun…

Dear Parish Family,

This past week we commemorated and celebrated the last days of Jesus before His Resurrection.  For Palm Sunday through Holy Thursday and Good Friday, the Church proclaimed the mystery of God’s immersible love for us.  He gave us the gift of the Eucharist:  His very Body and Blood to be with us until the end of time and the Sacrament of Holy Orders to perpetuate the Eucharist.  He suffered and died for our Salvation and rose again on Easter for our justification and the gift of the restoration of our nature; a return to the original dignity of being created in the Divine image and likeness. The last words that Jesus spoke from the Cross were … “It is finished.”  Jesus had done all that the Father asked of Him for us.  With Jesus’ Resurrection, something new was begun.  New life, restored life, renewed faith and restored hope for all who acknowledge Jesus as Lord and God, and come to Him with an open, humble heart .  The anger of “Crucify Him” has turned into the new cry:  ‘Resurrexit sicut dixit’ (He has Risen as He said) and we respond:  “Alleluia!”

Happy Easter!

God Bless, Fr. Dan
