Happy Easter May Your Easter Be Happy, May Your Day Be Bright, May You Enjoy the Treats, and Sweets Delights Happy Easter May your Easter be happy, May your day be bright, May you enjoy the treats, And sweets delights. But remember the meaning, Remember God’s gift, Remember the resurrection, May your soul uplift. Easter Message Easter morning bright and fair Tells me of God’s loving care. Flowers that were gone from view Now awakening, bloom anew. Though God’s face I do not see, I will trust His care for me. Jesus Lives Just because He loved us so Jesus died once long ago. But He rose on Easter Day, Now let all his children say: “Jesus lives! Jesus lives! Oh, I’m happy! Jesus lives!” Just because He loved us so Jesus died once long ago. But He rose on Easter Day, Now let all his children say: “Jesus lives! Jesus lives! Oh, I’m happy! Jesus lives!” Easter Day Christ the Lord is risen today! Angels rolled the stone away From the tomb wherein He Lay Little children, come and sing, “Glory, glory, to the King, Christ the Lord of everything!” He Lives I serve a risen Savior He’s in the world today. I know that He is living Whatever men may say. I see His hand of mercy; I hear His voice of cheer; And just the time I need Him He is always near. Jesus Rose on Easter Day Jesus rose on Easter day, The stone by his tomb was rolled away. He conquered death upon that day, And He lives again to show us the way. The Cross My small mind can’t comprehend, My simple heart can’t understand, My humble soul can’t take it in- The glory of the cross. I’m grateful that you love me still, And offer that your spirit will Provide what I cannot fulfill- To glorify the cross Easter E is for Each of us. God loves everyone. A is for A broken world, so He sent His son. S is for our Sins that Jesus took away. T is for the Tomb where He lay for 3 whole days E is for the Empty tomb. The stone was rolled away. R is for the Risen Lord. Jesus is alive today! Going to Church on Easter Morn Up with the sunrise, Excitement is in the air, Easter morning Is finally here. Brand new clothes and a freshly washed face, Going to church to give thanks For God's grace. Thank You Jesus Thank you Jesus, for loving me, You died on the cross, and set me free. They buried you, and went away, But you rose again on the third day. Very soon you will come again, And I will live with you in heaven. Thank you for dying on Calvary. Thank you Jesus, for loving me. His Love God sent his Son to take the punishment For all the thoughtless, sinful things we do. Jesus gave his life because He loves us; His love is boundless, sweet, forever true. On Easter morn He showed He is our Savior. His resurrection proves He is our Lord. That is why we tell you, "Happy Easter!" He secured out heavenly reward. Easter Gate Jesus came to show us how To live and love on earth, right now. Then he died to erase our sin, So the pearly gates would let us in. Raised from death, Jesus is our guide Through our own death to the other side. Believe in Jesus, and you'll be Written in the book of eternity. Easter means, in heaven, life, Free from sadness, free from strife. If your name is in God's journal, You're assured of life eternal. Celebrate Our Savior On Easter morn, we celebrate our Savior; Whatever people seek in Him, they find. In history, there has never been another So holy, sacrificial, good and kind. His resurrection makes us all immortal; In heaven, we’ll be together with our King. Eternally we’ll share in all His blessings; Happy Easter! Jesus Christ is everything! Easter Is Really for Jesus Easter is not just for the Bunny, With goodies and treats that he brings, Easter is when we must celebrate And Hallelujah is the song that we sing! Easter is really for Jesus, Who died and then rose from the dead. We must always remember the love Jesus showed And all of the things that He said. So, remember this Easter when you go to Church, And this message you tell everyone. That easter is all about Jesus, The Bunny and treats are just fun! Resurrection, The Easter Story They slept, who should have guarded, And watched over his tomb, But he 'rose up" and none did see His rebirth from this womb, His spirit graced the garden, His final act was done, He was "The Resurrection" His victory had been won. .

  • Lent & Easter Season
    LENT/EASTER SEASON February 22, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? At its root, Lent is a name for Spring, and is a 40-day period of preparation for Easter Sunday and one of the major liturgical seasons of the Catholic Church. A penitential season marked by prayer, fasting and abstinence, and almsgiving, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. The color of Lent is purple; The six Sundays in Lent are not part of the Lenten fast, and thus we say there are 40 days of Lent – a biblical number – while there are really 46; The Stations of the Cross are a devotion imitating a pilgrimage with Jesus to commemorate 14 key events around the crucifixion; Because of the solemnity of Lent, the Gloria and Alleluia are not said or sung. March 1, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? During Lent the Church is called to embrace a spirit of repentance and metanoia (“a change of heart”) or conversion. There are many opportunities for prayer – communally or individually – such as: Daily Mass (communal) Stations of the Cross (communal and individual) The Rosary (communal and individual) Liturgy of the Hours (individual) Reconciliation (communal and individual) Adoration of the Eucharist in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel every Friday (individual) Free web Lent program offered by Dynamic Catholic—sign up at BestLentEver.com. March 8, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? The next four weeks of “What’s This” will be highlighting specific components that lead up through the Easter Vigil. Palm Sunday – March 29: The liturgical color of Palm Sunday is red. Red signifies Christ’s Passion; The Palm Sunday liturgy begins with an additional Gospel highlighting the jubilant entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem; The palms are ancient symbols of victory and hope, as well as new life; The Palm Sunday liturgy takes on a more somber tone with the second Gospel reading of Christ’s Passion; The blessed palms received this day should be discarded as other blessed articles.

CATECHETICAL RESOURCES IX. APPENDIX I. WHY ST. JOSEPH? WHY NOW? On December 8, 1870, The Sacred Congregation of Rites promulgated the following decree, which communicated the decision of Pope Pius IX to declare St. Joseph Patron of the Universal Church, and which also raised St. Joseph’s feast of March 19 to the rank of double of the first class. Quemadmodum Deus Pope Pius IX As almighty God appointed Joseph, son of the patriarch Jacob, over all the land of Egypt to save grain for the people, so when the fullness of time had come and he was about to send to earth his only- begotten Son, the Savior of the world, he chose another Joseph, of whom the first had been the type, and he made him the lord and chief of his household and possessions, the guardian of his choicest treasures. Indeed, he had as his spouse the Immaculate Virgin Mary, of whom was born by the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ our Lord, who deigned to be reputed in the sight of men as the son of Joseph, and was subject to him. Him whom countless kings and prophets had desired to see, Joseph not only saw but conversed with, and embraced in paternal affection, and kissed.

  • Pastoral Letter for Easter Monday We Are Now Through Holy Week
    Pastoral Letter For Easter Monday We are now through Holy Week, which began on Palm Sunday and continued through Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Easter Sunday was yesterday, and hopefully, you were able to either view the service on our website or, at least, read the written copy of the sermon for the day. It has been a surreal experience following the directions of the Stay at Home Order and visiting grocery stores with bare shelves. The news is obsessed with the death toll from the coronavirus outbreak and the economic fallout. Fortunately, we do encounter occasional acts of compassion that warm the heart. One such episode happened a few years ago, but I thought that you might appreciate the message that it contains. A young lad who was paying his way through school by selling goods door to door found himself one day virtually penniless. Hungry and exhausted, he decided to ask for a meal at the next place he visited. When a young lass opened her door, the boy lost his nerve and simply asked for a drink of water. Seeing that he looked emaciated, she gave him a large glass of milk, which he gratefully drank down. He then asked her how much he owed her. She responded that he didn’t owe her anything – that she never would expect payment for a kindness. He thanked her profusely. As Chris Galen departed, his faith in God and humankind was strengthened. He was on the verge of giving up, but that young woman saved the day. Years later, that woman became critically ill.

After excessive rain and several rounds of inclement weather throughout the greater Houston area last October, a number of events around the city were canceled and/or rescheduled, including the 8th Annual Halloween Classic Car Show at the National Museum of Funeral History. With the “make up date” of March 12, 2016 so close to Easter – the traditionally Halloween- themed affair is now an “Easter-Ween” event, rewinding to everyone’s favorite spooky holiday with a twist, including an Easter egg hunt for kids wearing Halloween costumes, all while helping to support local charities. Featuring more than 150 cars from classic to contemporary. Families will enjoy the spring festival atmosphere from 10 am – 3 pm on Saturday, March 12 with a costume contest at 12 pm (people can dress for Halloween just like in October’s shows), “The Dead DJ’s,” silent auction and more. And – for those who want to enter their car in the show, on-site registration is available on a first come first serve basis for only $30 on event day from 8 am – 11 am. Remember – anyone can enter! Consider “dressing up” your car for Halloween and entering it into the contest for the best decorated car. Blast from the Past Street Machines of Texas will be judging the car show from 10 am to 2 pm in a variety of categories and issuing a plethora of awards at 3 pm, including several new awards added just this year like the Zombie Attack Awards, a Youth Class and Best Club Participation award.

Who is “Santa Claus” and how did he get into Christmas? We value the resurrection of Christ from the grave, but we would like to know the origin of “Easter,” and why it is celebrated with bunny rabbits and colored eggs. Then there is Halloween. Where did it come from? Why is it connected with witches, misshappen creatures, fires, and skeletons?
