Easter Sunday 07
Easter Sunday
April 8th, 2007
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Brothers and sisters in the risen Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit fills this holy place with the joy of Christ's resurrection. This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us celebrate this Mass with renewed faith and hope in the power of Christ to be the light of the world -- a light that scatters the darkness of sin and death. Let ours be a song of praise and thanksgiving on this festive Easter Day.
Today we follow Mary of Magdala, Peter, and John to the tomb where we find the stone rolled away. Sharing their amazement, we find that the tomb is empty. The empty tomb stands as an everlasting sign of hope -- hope for a world free from fear, free from sin, free from death. As God's word is proclaimed, let us be filled with joy and gladness on this Easter Day.
RICE BOWL
Easter Sunday -- The Resurrection
The mystery of the empty tomb stands before us. We experience the new life of Christ. We see: a village that has been suffering now has clean drinking water, a fish farm provides as family with adequate food, parents have an income so their children can go to school, and children have access to medical care to help prevent sickness and disease. Our lives are touched by people who we will never see, but who exist together with us in the love of Christ at home and faraway lands. Thank you for your generosity to Operation Rice Bowl this Lent. Please visit www.crs.org to learn more about the countries we celebrated and find out how you can stay connected with the mission of Catholic Relief Services all year round.
In Deepest Sympathy
We remember in our prayers Cathern LaHolt, her family and friends. Cathern died on March 30th. May she rest in peace.
BAPTISM -- We welcome to the Christian Community Garett Preston Corbett and Cody Matthew Sharp who were baptized last weekend. May the love of God be with you and your families.
