From your Pastor: He Has Risen Alleluia! Dear Sisters and Brothers, HAPPY EASTER TO ALL !!!! May the joy of the Risen Christ permeate your life and enlighten it with its light. May the truth of the resurrection bring peace to your mind and trust to your heart, may it bring rest to your tired bodies, may it give you strength of grace to pursue the good of the Gospel, that is, the happiness of eternal life.

Jesus' resurrection is a promise of eternal life to us, it is opening of the gates of heaven for those who believe. That news brings us joy of knowing, that our lives don't end here, that our lives only begin here on earth. Our Easter joy does not come from the Easter bunny, Easter eggs, Easter lamb; it comes from the empty tomb. This is what the Easter bunny expresses in children's language, saying that: as the bunny comes out of the whole in the ground to see the light of the world and to enjoy life, so Christ comes out of the grave to enjoy his eternal life with us. Significance of Easter eggs comes from the empty tomb as well. As the little chicken comes out of the egg leaving the empty egg shell behind, so Christ left the empty tomb behind. It is not childish at all, it is very true and hopefully we appreciate the origin of that symbolism with its power to enlighten our life, but specially our death. Easter lamb is another analogy for the Resurrection, as it is the Paschal lamb, who was sacrificed for the Passover meal and marking of the entrances of the Jewish houses with its blood for protection against the Angel of death; and now he is back alive standing triumphant with the white flag signifying the white burial cloth carried in victorious way. The Easter joy is coming from Christ being victorious over death, opening for us the new realm of life after death in the glory of heaven. So being in the process of our first life, we rejoice in the fact that Christ gives us the gift of second life after death - life that will never end in the glory of heaven. That certainty of eternity empowers the joy of Easter to well up in the hearts of believers. It anticipates our own resurrection through the grace of Christ's resurrection. It makes us victorious together with Christ over all the losses that we suffered in this life. It gives new meaning to all experiences of life, it makes them eternal since they will always exist in our hearts, they become the part of eternity with us, because in God - love never ends. In God and in God's king-dom life is eternal and love is eternal, and this is the revelation of the resurrection. So the Easter joy brightens the dark moments of this life, gives them new meaning and significance, it redeems them. The worst moments of this life become livable, because of the resurrection, that makes them part of our redemption process, and that is Christ's gift to us. So Jesus' resurrection changes all pain and suffering and even death itself into the project of redemption and salvation, for the one that undergoes them, and for those for whom he offers them. Resurrection totally changes the perspective on life. This life becomes only a beginning of eternal life, it becomes an introduction into Christ and his kingdom. Resurrection gives new meaning to everything that happens to us in this life, and that is the Easter joy, and so really it is possessed by those who believe, by those who entrust their lives to Christ. And we entrust our lives to Christ by living our lives according to the Gospel, that Jesus left us to follow. Doing that we draw from the treasury of resurrection, from the treasury of god's promises and god's glory. HAPPY EASTER !!!! On behalf of parish clergy and staff I want to express best wishes : HAPPY EASTER TO ALL !!!!! Good health and prosperity to all, may your needs be satisfied and your dreams realized through Christ the source of every grace. God bless you always !!!!! Fr. Stan P.S. I want to thank all of you who made this celebrations beautiful by helping to organize the services and by participation. Thank You to all for their hard work in all different ways, as you helped in many different ways, from preparing liturgies to helping in cleaning and decorating the church. It is a multi person effort in all ways and always, and I thank you for all help. I thank you for your generosity to our parish, as Scriptures says- God loves the cheerful giver - and as we be generous with God, God will be generous with us. Thank You !!! Thank You !!! Thank You !!! Fr. Stan

Many thanks to all the cooks and the volunteers who came down for the

Parish Lenten Soup Supper it was as always

a huge success and everyone in attendance left with full stomachs.

Le chemin de la croix est source de vie Renonce a toi-même, prends ta croix et suis Jésus (Luc 9, 23). Ce langage peut sembler dur a certains, mais il sera bien plus dur d'entendre, au dernier jour, cette parole:" Retirez-vous de moi, maudits! Allez au feu éternel !( Matthieu 25,41) Pourquoi donc refuses-tu de porter ta

croix, puisqu'elle donne accès au Royaume des cieux? Dans la croix est le salut, dans La Croix la vie, dans la croix la protection contre les ennemis, dans la croix la source du

bonheur éternel, dans la croix la joie de l'esprit, la perfection des vertus, le couronnement de la sainteté. Il n'existe pas de salut pour l'âme ni d'espérance pour la vie éternelle en dehors de La Croix. porte donc ta croix et suis Jésus, et tu parviendras a la vie éternelle. Il t'a précédé en portant la sienne, et il est mort pour toi afin que tu puisses être sauve. "Car si tu meurs

avec lui, tu vivras avec lui (Rm 6, 8), et si tu partages ses peines, tu partageras aussi sa gloire. Nul ne comprend bien la Passion du Christ que celui qui a endure quelque chose de

semblable. Il faut boire avec joie le calice du Seigneur si tu veux être son ami et avoir part a sa gloire.
