He is Risen!

Alleluia!

Dear Friends in Christ,

We recognize during the Lenten Season that Christ calls us to repentance and to the expectation of the great joy of the Easter Season! Today we have arrived!

As we recognize that we have journeyed through the Lenten Season to Easter Glory we also recognize that God’s love is unparalleled. His sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary paid the great price for all of us and now we bask in the brightness of the Easter Resurrection! It is with this great joy that we now have the courage to go out to our families and communities and proclaim what Christ has done for us!

How has Christ called you back to himself? Do you have the courage to invite others to return to the Glory that belongs to God alone? It is with the blessings of Easter that we can find that courage to (re)dedicate our lives to the risen Lord.

In the words of St. Augustine, “And He departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here!” We at Holy Cross, invite all who may have fallen away from Christ and his Church to return. It is together that our faith in Christ can continue to grow and flourish! Together, we can support and nurture one another with the Lord’s love and guidance.

May this Easter Season be a time of blessings, new beginnings, and the abiding presence of Jesus in your life.
