Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
As we reflect upon the Gospel today, we see Jesus bring Lazarus back to life, of course Lazarus will one day actually die again and hopefully go to heaven.
We have the chance to really ask ourselves do we fully understand that one day each of us will die and our earthly life will end. Yes, we hope our soul goes to heaven and our dead bodies to be buried in a Catholic Cemetery until the second coming of Christ, and both our body and soul will be forever happy and at peace with God and Jesus in heaven.
The raising of Lazarus led many people to begin to believe and accept Jesus as the Son of God and the Promised Messiah. We need to renew our belief as well.
These remaining two weeks of Lent can help us strengthen our Faith and continue to follow God in all our actions.
Things to help us prepare for the Joy of Easter
· No meat on Fridays and especially on Good Friday
· Fill up our Rice Bowls and bring to the Church
· May try to go to Daily Mass
· Go to Confession
· Try to go to all the Holy Week Church activities
· Prepare our Easter offering to God to help the work of the Church
· Invite others to attend Mass with us on Easter Sunday, especially all our family
members
· Pray for an end to the wars and killings and remember why Jesus died for everyone
God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
