Dear Parishioners,
Blessed and Happy Easter.
Today, as we rejoice in Jesus' glorious resurrection, let us ever praise Him for His triumph over sin and death and opening for us the way to new life. No doubt, as disciples of Jesus and like the faithful who have gone before us, we want to put all our trust in Jesus who is always with us, alleluia!
Written next, for all, is the Solemn Blessing for the Masses of Easter.
"May almighty God bless you through today's Easter Solemnity and, in his compassion, defend you from every assault of sin.
R). Amen.
And may he, who restores you to eternal life in the Resurrection of his Only Begotten, endow you with the prize of immortality.
R). Amen.
Now that the days of the Lord's Passion have drawn to a close, may you who celebrate the gladness of the Paschal Feast come with Christ's help, and exulting in spirit, to those feasts that are celebrated in eternal joy.
R). Amen.
And may the blessing of almighty God the Father, and the Son, + and the Holy Spirit, come down on you and remain with you forever.
R). Amen."
In Jesus,
Fr. Dan
