PRAYER CORNER "" I am Love and Mercy Itself. There is no misery that could be a

match for My mercy, neither will misery exhaust it, because as

it is being granted- it increases. The soul that trusts in My

mercy is most fortunate, because I myself take care of it."

~Diary of St. Faustina (1273, pg 459)

This week pray these words slowly, let them soak into your

soul like spring rain. Jesus loves you with such tender mercy

and desires to take care of you! If you don't feel like you can

trust Him in all things, then pray for the gift of trust.

PARISH RETREAT

Join Fr Joe for a Pilgrimage on Fr iday June 10th, 2016. The

time will be spent at Holy Resurrection Monastery in

St. Nazianz’s, a Byzantine Rite monastery. Depar ture is at

8:00 a.m. and arrival back at 4:00 p.m. The cost is $35 per

person. Reservations are being taken at the par ish offices at

of prayer and reflection in the Eastern Rite. Space it limited!

What are Latin Rite and Eastern Rite?

The Catholic Church is a communion of 22 particular

churches. Each has its own distinctive way of worship and

spirituality. What unites these churches is a common faith in

the doctrines of the Universal Catholic Church and the

acceptance of the Bishop of Rome (Pope) as head of the whole

Church. The majority of Catholics belong to the Roman

Church (Latin Rite) however a large number of Catholics

belong to one of the 21 Eastern Rite Church, with the largest

numbers in the Byzantine Church (Eastern Rite).

A NOTE FROM YOUR PASTOR Happy Easter everyone. Let's keep the spirit

of this special time alive in our hearts, and share it

with the world. It isn't over. We have a fifty day

season dedicated to this amazing event, Jesus

defeating death, demonstrating that there is a power in

this world greater than death!

Easter is unique for many reasons. For one,

unlike Christmas, there is no fixed day for its celebration. Easter

always falls on a Sunday so the date always changes. Of course it

is always in March or April. This is because it is always set for

the first Sunday after the first full moon of Spring. The Church

chose this time so that nature herself could proclaim the reason

for the season. As Spring speaks of new life, so does Easter. As

the full moon speaks of light and saving knowledge, so does

Easter. Sunday speaks of the resurrection from the dead, so does

Easter.

Originally, we didn't have an Easter celebration. every

Sunday was an Easter celebration, as is still the case today! This

is because it was on Sunday, the first day of the week, that our

Lord rose from the dead. This is so important that we transferred

our Sabbath rest from Saturday to Sunday. Sunday has become

both the first and the eighth day of the week. On the first day,

Sunday, God began creation. We messed it up with original and

personal sin on the seventh day so on the eighth day God began

the recreation of the world!

It is still a work in process until our Lord returns at the

end of time. So let's keep spreading the Good News! Let's keep

doing the works of mercy and praying. “For, we proclaim your

death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection, until you come

again!” God Bless! Fr. Joe
