Okay... "God is Near - Reflections of a Diocesan Priest" is back! I am not the best blogger in the world, but once in awhile, I will post something. :)
Happy Easter to you! I hope and pray your Easter goes wonderfully.
Last night, at the great Easter Vigil, I was thankful to be part of this powerful liturgy at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Noblesville, IN. Fr. Shocklee, our Associate Pastor, did a wonderful job as the celebrant. I especially liked his homily that was both in English and Spanish. Well done Fr. Shocklee. Fr. Metzger and I helped with some different parts of the liturgy, especially when all three of us helped with the confirmations. This was a first for me and it was powerful.
The Easter Season lasts for about 8 weeks or so. Please keep the Alleluias going and enjoy this wonderful time of the year.
I would encourage you to follow along each day with the Season of Easter because we can never exhaust the mysteries and wonder of our God and His Risen Son Jesus Christ who is Lord forever and ever. Visit http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/overviews/seasons/Easter/
Jesus Christ is Risen, Alleluia! He is Risen Indeed, Alleluia Alleluia!!
