No Confessions on Wednesday, March 30th.

Today, we bear witness to the resurrection of Christ. Indeed the only thing that can be done in this case is to bear witness to His resurrection. In doing so, Christians around the world are professing their faith in Christ’s death and resurrection. Good Friday was a time of pain, sorrow, and suffering. Today is a time to rejoice. “This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad.” First, we want to welcome our eleven friends who are being received in full communion with the Church this Easter. It is our sincere hope that our friends continue to grow in their faith and that the grace of Christ’s resurrection continues to strengthen them. We also welcome our friends who are visiting their family members, our regular parishioners and all the faithful who are here with us to witness Christ’s resurrection. “See what love the Father has given us.” His Son! In the sacrifice we experience the depth of God’s love, a love which shows that nothing is impossible. “No doubt, one can fall down, one can commit unfaithful acts, but love knowing how to profit from everything quickly consumes everything that can be displeasing to Jesus, leaving only a humble and profound peace in the depth of the heart.” (St. Therese of Lisieux). As we continue to grow in our faith, I ask that God give all of us the grace to appreciate more deeply the sacrifice of his son and continue to bear witness of the resurrection in everything we do.
