FIRST TUESDAY OF EASTER

Dear Father:

HE IS RISEN! Alleluia!!

We enter into the most sacred period of the year -- Easter Season. It is a glorious time.

Although this is a time of celebration, it is also a time of preparation -- for the Holy Spirit has not yet descended on the apostles. As we approach Holy Pentecost (the birthday of the Church) we not only celebrate but we also prepare to allow the Holy Spirit to come upon us.

We each need to prepare for the Holy Spirit. This is a time of preparation for that -- a time of to begin to practice what we learned from our reflections during Lent and a time for renewed reflections on how to love out the calling we have from God.

My prayer is that all people will examine themselves and prepare themselves for the coming of the Holy Spirit so that we all may experience a re-filling of the Spirit that shall empower us to not only live the victorious Christ-life but to share that faith will others.

Amen.
