Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord

April 1, 2018

PROCLAIM THE RISEN CHRIST

On Easter morning everything—the spring weather,

the flowers, birds and butterflies, the people around us in

their finery, the beautiful liturgy and music—everything

seems to bear witness that Jesus Christ is risen today! Like

the eyewitness accounts in today’s scriptures, the glorious

and joyful life all around us helps us to believe the good

news of the Resurrection and sing “Alleluia!” In the scrip-

tures today we hear from Peter and Paul and John. All three

speak with conviction about witnessing the resurrected

Christ. John’s Gospel account includes Mary of Magdala,

who also was privileged to witness the Resurrection and

tell others the good news. On this glorious Easter Sunday

can we ourselves give eyewitness accounts that Jesus

Christ is risen today, alive and active in our lives?

PRAYER CHAIN REQUESTS

We want to remind people

or of a close family member who can speak

for that person in need; you may use either

their full name OR no name at all. It is also

hoped that if the prayer line is being used

anonymously, the caller inform our Pastor

Father Tony so he can come to anoint or ad-

minister the Sacrament of Healing when

needed and to know who among the

flock to keep in his daily prayer. Thank you

and May God Bless you!

From the desk of our pastor, Father Tony Neusch.

Drop, drop, slow tears

Phineas Fletcher 1582-1650

Drop, drop, slow tears,

and bathe those beauteous feet,

which brought from heaven

the news and Prince of Peace.

Cease not, wet eyes,

his mercies to entreat;

to cry for vengeance

sin doth never cease.

In your deep floods

drown all my faults and fears;

nor let his eye

see sin, but through my tears.
