Alleluia!
Happy Easter. Christ is risen from the dead. Alleluia! What good news! And
what a glorious night, as new fire is lit, the Exsultet is sung, new
members, adults and children alike, are Baptized ... and adults are
Confirmed and welcomed into Full Communion with the Catholic Church. Light
indeed overcomes darkness. Life indeed, overcomes death. Let's trust in the
risen Lord as he dwells with and within us. May we work for a world filled
with justice, and experience the peace that overflows when there is justice.
Happy Easter! Visit my special Easter Page. Just follow the links from

From Father Pat Umberger

"While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law,
were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. But now we are
discharged from the law, dead to that which held us captive, so that we are
slaves not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit."
~Romans 7:5-6
.=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=.
All that depresses us, all that we fear, is really powerless to harm us.
These things are but phantoms. So we can arise from earth's bonds, from
depression, distrust, fear and all that hinders our new life. We can arise
to beauty, joy, peace and work inspired by love. We can rise from death to
life. We need not even fear death. All past sins can be forgiven and we
can live, love and work with God. We need not let anything hinder our new
life. We can seek to know more and more of that new way of living.
.=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=.
I pray that I may let God live in me as I work for God. I pray that I may
go out into the sunlight and work with God.

We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life. We
pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at
home. We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage
and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who
have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a
good day!
May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!
Father Pat
"Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10
Keep me in your prayers and know you're remembered in mine as well. May
God continue to draw near to you and those you love and keep you safe!
All the best and God Bless,
Father Pat
