Pastor’s Corner Holy Week concludes on EasterSunday,thegreatdayofcelebra8ngthe Lord’s victory over death, the
Church’s greatest feast. In a twist of irony,“Easter” comes from Oesteres, the Druidgoddess of Spring, whowas believed to turnher pet bird into a rabbit to amuse goodchildren by laying colorful eggs for them tofind and enjoy. This gave rise to the Easteregg, adopted by Chris8an missionaries as asymbolofJesus’Resurrec8on,sinceeggshavebeen used to symbolize new life in nearlyeveryculturearoundtheworld.Andisn’tthatexactlywhatwe celebrate in naturewith thecoming of Spring, and what Chris8anscelebrateintheResurrec8onofChrist?
OnbehalfofFr.Sanjai,Fr.PeteSaporito,Deacons Larry Farmer and John Rich, ourPastoral Associate Mary Ann Exler and ourenCreParishStaffIwanttowishyouallaveryhappyandblessedholydayand seasonaswecelebrateOurLord’sconquestofsinanddeath.As He once told His Disciples so now Heremindsus:“Youarewitnessesofthis.”(Luke24:48) Byourwordsanddeeds,wearecalledto show thatwe are, indeed, children ofGod,followersofChrist, andheirsofGod’spromiseof rising to everlasCng life with Him who iscalledKingofKingsandLordofLords.
As we reflect upon and celebrate OurLord’svictorywemustalwaysrememberthatitdid not come without sacrifice. As weobserved during Lent, we too must sacrificesomethingofourselvesifwewouldbecountedamong His people; that we must “die withChristsowemay livewithChrist.” (2Timothy2:11).
