All of Us - #541
Fr. Larry Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Happy Easter to all! Thank you for being with us this Easter as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Your presence at St. Cyril's today is a precious gift to our parish community. How good it is for us to gather and share in this Holy Eucharist. I am sure God is smiling down from heaven upon us today. Easter is filled with hope and joy. The songs we sing, the prayers we offer, even the colorful flowers and beautiful Easter lilies that decorate our church, all reflect the faith we profess today and the in new life given to us by Christ. Easter is just one day in the year. But every day, as followers of Jesus, we are to give witness to Christ in our life. Our prayer every Sunday is rooted in the death and resurrected Lord. The Easter season itself continues on for 50 days as we make our way to Pentecost Sunday. I am grateful for the many volunteers who worked so hard behind the scenes throughout this Holy Week to make our liturgies beautiful and meaningful expressions of our Catholic faith. Hundreds of hours go into the planning, practicing, rehearsing, organizing and decorating. St. Cyril's is blessed to have so many dedicated and devoted parishioners who bring great care and attention to our prayer and worship. Thank you to all who gave of their time and talents to make this a very special and Holy Week. During Lent I came across a prayer that I have been using every day. I keep a copy of it in my wallet. I would like to share it with you. It might be something that you can use periodically on those days when life gets nutty and stressful and you are searching for some "spiritual focus and direction." This prayer has been my spiritual compass that kept me pointing to Jesus' presence in my life.
Reach Out And Grasp The Lord's Hand
Father, I ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Brother, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. Easter Blessings Today's bulletin includes Easter greetings and blessings on behalf of our Pastoral Staff. Know that you and your family are always in our prayers. Also, enjoy reading the latest edition of our parish newsletter, entitled News from the Pews. It contains the good news of what is happening in the life of our parish community. I personally found the reflections by the members of the Parish Council to be a very inspiring article. Welcome to St. Cyril's As always, we welcome those who are visiting our parish and those who are new to St. Cyril's. If you frequently attend St. Cyril's please make sure that you are registered with us so that you will be able to receive important information about our parish throughout the year. Also, it is important for families to be registered with a parish so that important sacramental information can be recorded. Todays bulletin contains a registration form for new families. A Welcoming Brunch will be held on Sunday, April 15th at 11:30 AM for our new parishioners. It will take place in Fr. Sivore Hall which is located in the school. It is a great opportunity for me and our staff to meet and get to know new families. It also allows us to explain what is going on in the life of our parish and the various ways our parish reaches out to families. Happy Birthday, Pops! I would like to send a "Happy Birthday shoutout to my dad who just turned 86 on Thursday. I had to get a bigger cake!
Father, our source of life, I reach out with joy to grasp your hand; let me walk more readily in your ways. Guide me in your gentle mercy, for left to myself I cannot do your will. Fill my heart with your love and keep me faithful to the Gospel of Christ. Give me the grace to rise above my human weaknesses.
