Pastor's Weekly Message

My Beloved Fellow Saints-in-the-Making,

Greetings in Jesus Christ, the Risen Lord and Savior!

ALLELUIA! JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN! ALLELUIA!

What a glorious gift of joy, of hopes fulfilled, and of new life promised! Jesus Christ is risen, and we celebrate with great thanksgiving to God this greatest of all Solemnities, this greatest of all miracles, this greatest of all promises: Easter Sunday.

We proclaim with great joy that Jesus Christ is risen, because this is the present state of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven: He is risen and glorified, the ongoing effect of the Resurrection some 2000 years ago. We do not say, “He has risen,” because that implies a limitation to the power and the glory of Our God. The glory of the Resurrection has not come and gone like some past event; Our Savior still is risen, which, therefore, gives us the hope that one day, we, too, shall rise with Him to the resurrection to eternal life.

As we rejoice in the Risen Christ, may this Easter Sunday be a day of glorious celebration in your hearts and in your homes. Celebrate the fullness of the glory of Easter, share the joy of this Good News with your family and friends, and live with unending thanksgiving the reality that Jesus has conquered death by rising from the tomb. And do so not just on Easter Sunday, but throughout the fifty days of the Easter Season and throughout the rest of your life! For Jesus’ Resurrection gives us the hope of rising with Him.

Know of my prayers for you and yours this Easter.  ALLELUIA! JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN! ALLELUIA!

God love you! I do. 



Fr. Lewis
