Divine Mercy Sunday - April 3, 2016
Eastertide (Paschal tide, or Easter Season)
We have recently felt the roller coaster of emotions that accompany Holy Week. We experience anticipation and penance as we spend our 40 days in Lent. We experience the ache of sadness as we recall Christ’s suffering and death. And then we exult and exclaim with joy “Christ is Risen, Alleluia, Alleluia” as we celebrate Christ’s resurrection and victory over sin. Our experience during the liturgies of Holy Week should bring us, each year, to a deeper understanding of Christ’s sacrifice for us. It is due to these liturgies that we are reminded why the Eucharist is the “source and summit” of our Christian life. These liturgies do not come together overnight, and so it’s an excellent time to spend a moment in thanksgiving for all of the hard work and preparation that went into Holy Week. While there is literally not enough space to thank everyone personally in this reflection, I do want to spend a moment to highlight a few persons. Thanks to Father Nong, Janet, Gerri, Claire and Frank, Mary Anne, Clem, our wonderful choirs, altar and adult servers, readers, extra-ordinary ministers of holy communion, greeters, collectors and counters, facilitators, decorators, those who had their feet washed, those who assisted with setup, the Liturgical Committee members, and all those whose prayers and or presence made these liturgies a success. We now transition into the 50 days of the Easter season, or Eastertide. The entire 50 days are celebrated as one feast day, which St. Athanasius referred to as “the Great Sunday”. While we did not have any adults receive Christian initiation locally, it is still a time for us to pray especially for all those who have been initiated into the Church around the world. It is also a time for us to focus on strengthening our community of faith. As Saint John Chrysostom stated over 1600 years ago: “Come you all: enter into the joy of your Lord. You the first and you the last, receive alike your reward, you rich and you poor, dance together; you sober and you weaklings, celebrate the day; you who have kept the fast and you who have not, rejoice today." Let us spend the next 50 days, concluding with Pentecost Sunday, rejoicing in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ is risen, Alleluia, Alleluia!

a time to get to know Jesus A Live-In is a retreat-type experience. The ultimate purpose of the Live-In is to lead participants to a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This involves a series of presentations on the basis of Christian Life. A variety of speakers from various walks of life help to make it instructive, uplifting, and very enjoyable. You would also experience a new peace and a much deeper faith. Many have said after-wards that they have a much different outlook on their life, Spiritually, Mentally and Emotionally. Some have found a greater meaning and purpose for their life. Live-In takes place from April 15-17 in Dr. Brosseau School in Bonnyville. Participants must be at least 18 years of age to participate. Please call Dianne @ 780-826-2917 for more info. Registration forms are available at the entrance of the church. Each person requires a sponsor that has already participated in one.
