This kind of reflection puts us back in touch with the original experience and reminds us of the relaxation and wonder the vacation afforded us. Today, on the Third Sunday of Easter, the Church blesses us with reminders of what we celebrated two Sundays ago. All three readings are reflections on the meaning of the death and resurrection of Christ. One of the threads running through these reflections is that the purpose of the Lord’s suffering, death, and resurrection was to save us, to forgive our sins. We are given fifty days to ponder this reality—fifty days to savor the experience of Christ’s dying and rising for us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

There certainly was extra expense for snow melt, the plowing and the overtime as well as the stress but spring is thankfully here. Springtime always brings a sense of birth and renewal and for us in the Northern Hemisphere it also also means Eastertime and the rebirth of our faith. I hope your Easter season has given you a new burst of awareness of God’s goodness to us even in the face of the cross. We will have our annual Ministry Day on this coming Saturday beginning with the 8:30 am mass. While the invitation is extended to all the liturgical ministers, the day (really one half a day) is open to anyone who is interested in deepening his/her sense of service and involvement in our parish or in the parishes of our deanery. The guest speaker will be Father John Harrington the retired pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Astoria. I’ve known and admired Father for my entire priesthood since my first summer assignment to Catholic University in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Father has served as the Spanish priest in several parishes and has also served in our Diocesan Mission in the Dominican Republic. He brings a wealth of experience to his presentation on Saturday. All are welcome to mass, light breakfast in the cafeteria and the presentation in the auditorium. The day will put a spring in your step. Let’s pray for each other Msgr. Kevin B.
