Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present
in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You
above all things and I desire You in my
soul. Since I cannot now receive You
sacramentally, come at least spiritually
into my heart. As though you were
already there, I embrace You and unite
myself wholly to You; permit not that I
should ever be separated from You.
Amen

Note
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Happy Easter! I pray that Easter joy may permeate your lives, your homes,
everything you do and everywhere you go! The message of Easter is new
life! Easter changes EVERYTHING! Christ is risen from the dead! This
means that ultimately no hurt, no sting, no struggle, no obstacle, nothing—
not even death—can hold us down from our upward trajectory toward God.
This is why St. Paul writes: “what will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril,
or the sword? No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through
him who loved us.” (Romans 8:35, 37-39). St. Paul rattles off a long list
of things that any normal human being would find distasteful, such as
persecution, famine, etc. St. Paul's point is that Christ’s victory over death
means that God can go to what seems like limits for us—even to the places
in our lives that hurt the most—and bring new life. God wants to pour out
his new life on us! What is your greatest challenge or obstacle? What in
your life seems like a limit? God can break through all of that, if you allow
him to, and bring something new into your life through it. That’s the joy of
Easter! Nothing, nobody, nohow, nowhere, can keep God from doing His
work of bringing new life. Amen.
May you be blessed abundantly! Please know of my prayers for you!
Fr. John N. Hay, Pastor

parish during this time when all public Masses are suspended. I am so
thankful for your generous hearts, because these are financially trying
times, for you and for our parish. You can drop off your tithes/envelopes
at the parish office during the week, mail them in or give online through
our website. Again, I thank you and know this: God will never be outdone
in generosity!
