IF YOU HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO HELP IN THE PREPARATIONS FOR THE CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION I ASK THAT YOU PLAN ON MEETING AFTER MASS THIS EASTER SUNDAY WITH JIM GILLET.

The Catholic Church has designated Sunday as the day especially consecrated to the Lord. It is meant to be a day of rest on which we are commanded to attend Holy Mass. “Dies Domini” means the Lord’s Day. Jesus Christ was crucified, but now we rejoice in His glorious victory of the resurrection! The resurrection is the central mystery of our faith. Saint Paul says “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain” (1Cor 15:14). The Resurrection means that Jesus Christ has overcome death, sin, pain and the power of hell.

St. Pius X writes the following: “…just as Jesus Christ through His resurrection began a new immortal and heavenly life, so we must begin a new life according to the Spirit, once and for all renouncing sin and everything that leads to sin, loving God and everything that leads to God.”

Sincerely in Christ,

Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
