Happy Easter! Jesus Christ is truly risen from the dead! We who love Him and live with Him know that when we die, we rise with Him! This holy season is the reason we dare to hope.
This Lenten season, we gave it our all. We celebrated over 100 hours of confession, we prayed and sacrificed, we gave up some things and embraced some things. All because Jesus is worth it and the pursuit of holiness makes us better people. Now we celebrate all the victories Christ was able to do in us, through us and because of us.
It is often during this beautiful season that some come to pray whom we are not usually blessed to pray with; you are more than welcome here! We love you and are grateful for any time that we all get to stand together, worship God, love Him and be loved by Him.
This wonderful season will last for the next seven weeks and conclude with a series of weekends where we rejoice in the greatest gifts of our God: Eucharist, the holy Trinity, etc. I love this time of year and I am so glad that it has finally arrived.
I do have some business to take care of before I wrap up this article; Our garage sale is coming up! I’m so touched by how many of you jumped into the fray and offered to help. Bless you! We obviously still need all the help we can get for any who are able/willing. Our sale will be April 19 and 20 in the Father Bush Parish Center. We will have a ton of really great stuff and all proceeds help us function as the Catholic Church here in Grand Blanc.
Thank you all so very much for the ways you contribute physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially to our parish. I cannot thank you enough.
I’m so grateful to Jesus that I get to be your priest.
