Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
Today, we sing, “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.” Happy Easter, Happy Sunday, Happy Day to look for candies and eggs, wear a new Easter Dress for the Easter Parade. Well, yes, those things are a part of Easter, but for Christians it is much more.
We should be joyful today for the following reasons:
· Jesus said yes to God the Father and died so we can live in the way God intended when He created Adam and Eve. This act of Jesus should make us happy to praise the Father, receive Jesus in Holy Communion and know we can have eternal joy and happiness in heaven one day.
· The Death and Resurrection of Jesus gave us the Seven Sacraments that helps us to get to heaven and also be happy here on earth.
· We will renew our Baptismal vows today and realize what we are saying, not like the day our mother held us and made the promises in our name.
· We can come together in the house of the Lord and share our joy and happiness and prayers with so many other people, believing what we believe.
· The sadness of Good Friday, lets Jesus bring the hope and promise of being a good happy person here on earth and also one day forever in heaven.
Here today at St. Patrick Parish, let us see smiling happy faces, letting God’s love into our hearts. Oh, yes, enjoy the candies, eggs and new clothes.
God Bless Ya,
Fr. Larry Young
