OUR LADY OF HOPE YÜÉÅ à{x ctáàÉÜË á Wxá~ Dear Friends: H appy Easter! Now, after all the alleluias have been sung, the baptismal vows repeated, and the Easter celebration over, it is time to ask ourselves, “What was all the preparation for? How have I changed? The main question we should ask ourselves is “how have I drawn closer to Christ through this Lent?” “How will I show forth the glory of His resurrection in my life?” These are good questions for all of us to ask as this Easter is celebrated. When we read the scriptures we see that the early Christians couldn’t keep the good news to themselves. They preached about Jesus’ death and resurrection wherever they went, witnessed to the change He’d made in their lives, and tried to live differently. They invited others to join them. Jesus, today, calls us to do no less. Yours in Christ, Very Rev. Michael A. Carrano PRIESTS’ MASS SCHEDULE SATURDAY, APRIL 11 5:00 P.M. Msgr. Pflomm 7:30 P.M.
