We celebrate God’s greatest surprise and the great hope God gives us in this feast. If you have any doubts about the idea of resurrection, you only have to look to nature. It has been said that creation itself is God’s first revealed Word, even before the Bible. Pope Francis states, “Clearly, creation itself is a sign of God’s boundless love for us. Consequently, the gifts of nature can themselves lead us to contemplate God”. Spend some time with nature today and remember tomorrow, April 22, is Earth Day. This year’s theme is “Protect Our Species”. Pope Francis writes in “Laudato Si”, “The protection of God’s gift of creation cannot be separated from a sound human and social ecology. Genuine care for our relationship with nature is inseparable from fraternity, justice and keeping faith with others.” Happy Easter everyone and let’s do our part to keep the hope of resurrection visible in nature. On behalf of Father Nolasco and our tri-parish staff we extend to you and your family members the peace and blessings of the Risen Lord! Father Ed
