Reflection:
May our celebration
raise us up and renew our lives!
One of the great songs we often sing on Easter has the words,
"This is the feast of victory of our God. Alleluia!"
Everything with which we struggle,
and every hope and desire we have,
come together in this day.
The tomb is empty!
Sometimes the Easter Season can be a busy time,
with visiting, meals, and travel.
Our prayer when we wake,
and our "calling to mind" throughout the day,
can help us remember what we are grateful for today. There is Light in the midst of every darkness.
New life, ever lasting life is ours.
Our journey to the font of renewal
has helped us remember we have been placed with Jesus.
If we haven't done so at liturgy this morning, we might renew our Baptismal promises today.
LET US PRAY FOR ALL THOSE WHO WILL BE UNITED IN THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE THIS MONTH:
Carolyn and Bob
Lisette and Louis
Kara and Angelo
Suh and Scott.
