Dear Parishioners,
Happy Resurrection Day! The Lord has risen, He has risen indeed, just as He said! Let us rejoice and be glad.
We know that the Resurrection of Christ changes everything. I still recall a beautiful homily of Bishop Lucker's at the Easter Vigil (in 1996, so it must have been really good). He quoted a saint who said Christ is risen, man is saved, and the world is changed! As we go about our Easter season, even if there is snow on the ground yet, even if there is still a chill in the air, we know that there is new life, and that eternity beacons.
But we also know that while we have joy, there is still sadness, too. We pray for the repose of the souls of Sr. Mary Schilling, who died some time ago (and my apologies to the Schilling family for forgetting to a sympathy in the bulletin until now); Gerald Forbes, father of Diane Swedzinski; and Lynn Larson, brother of Gail Fischer and Marge Weber. May the Resurrection of Christ raise their souls to eternity.
In Christ,
Fr. Todd
