Alleluia!

04-17-2022Weekly ReflectionFr. Michael Straley

Today we celebrate new life! Our Lord is Risen! He has defeated the power of death… we do not fear! He has promised to send His Holy Spirit to us, to guide us in this new life. Alleluia!

We also celebrate new life in our community. At the Easter Vigil we welcomed nine new members into our family, five adults and four young. Their joy gives us new life and helps us celebrate our new life with them.

Now, we must begin again to live that new life, different from yesterday. As we live our new life we will attract others to join us next year. Let us walk in peace and joy, sharing mercy and love throughout the coming days and weeks. Let us truly be the Body of Christ present in our world, and making our world a little better by the way we live our new life.

Yes, Alleluia!
