Staying Connected

Dear friends,

After three days in the silence of the tomb, the unimaginable happened. In the stillness of that early morning, Jesus took a breath… and then another… and life returned in a way that would change the world forever. Christ is risen! Alleluia!

Easter is not just a day—it is a season. For fifty days we celebrate what the Resurrection means for our lives. I would like to challenge all of us this year to truly receive Easter as a season of joy, not simply as one Sunday celebration that quickly fades.

Joy is not always the absence of struggle. Even in difficult times, the risen Christ invites us to believe that joy can still find its way into our lives.

In the Upper Room, on the evening before His crucifixion, Jesus spoke often to His disciples about the joy that would come through the Resurrection. He told them: “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”

Imagine that moment. Jesus knew the suffering that lay ahead—betrayal, the cross, the tomb—and yet He spoke about joy. Not a superficial happiness, but a deep and lasting joy rooted in God’s presence.

He also told them: “You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.” Like the pain of childbirth that gives way to the joy of new life, the suffering of the cross would give birth to the joy of resurrection. And that joy, Jesus promised, is a joy no one can take away.

Upper Room

This is the promise of Easter. Each day during this Easter season, I invite you to pray a simple prayer: “Lord, surprise me with joy today.” Joy has a way of appearing quietly. Sometimes it comes quickly—a kind word, a moment of laughter, a beautiful sunrise, a conversation that lifts the heart. Other times we have to look a little more carefully.

At the end of each day, take a moment to look back over the hours that have passed. Search through the minutes for moments of goodness and beauty. Sometimes the moment of joy is obvious. Other times it takes a little effort to notice. But when we begin to look for it, we discover that God’s grace is present in ways we had not seen before.

Even when life includes sorrow or difficulty, Easter reminds us that joy can sit beside us, even in our grief. The risen Lord walks with us in every season of life. So, during this Easter season, let us open our hearts to that gift. Let us allow the joy of the Resurrection to renew our faith, strengthen our hope, and deepen our love for one another.

May the risen Lord surprise you with moments of grace and joy in the days ahead. On behalf of the clergy and staff, I wish you “A Blessed Easter.”

For Easter Sunday, we will have additional Masses to help accommodate everyone. Our 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM Masses at Christ the King are usually quite overcrowded and often come with parking challenges. For those who may prefer a quieter celebration with easier parking, we are also offering a 12:00 Noon Mass at Christ the King and an 11:00 AM Mass at St. Stephen.

Please also note that the 9:00 AM Mass at Christ the King and the 11:00 AM Mass at St. Stephen will be our Children’s Masses.

Christ is risen! Alleluia!
