3 April 20, 2014 FROM THE PASTOR Page Two ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA HE IS RISEN My Dear Brothers and Sisters, this is the day that we celebrate our Lord s victory over sin and death. This is the day of his Glorious Resurrection on that first Easter Morning. May the joy of that first Easter be in our hearts, in our minds and in our souls today and everyday during this Holy Easter Season. May God bless each of us and our families on this Easter Day. Let us pray that all people throughout the world will know the peace and joy that fills our hearts on this day. We invite you as Disciples of Christ to share the Good News with your family, friends, neighbors and all those you meet today and everyday. Our Lord s victory is for all creation and our mission is to proclaim this message of love and peace and joy to all. Brothers and Sisters throughout the season of Lent we have been preparing for this glorious Feast of Easter by prayer, fasting and alms giving. Our Lenten fasting was a reminder of our hunger and thirst for holiness which is satisfied only by Our Lord, Jesus Christ, who feeds and nourishes us with His own Body and Blood. As we gather at our meals during this Easter Season may the food of our Easter Meal be a sign for us of that heavenly banquet to which the Lord calls us. Once again we offer you a prayer to be said with your family during the Easter Season. God of Glory, Grace before our Easter Meals The eyes of all turn to you during this Easter Season as we celebrate Christ's glorious victory over sin and death. O Lord we ask You, who blessed the five loaves in the desert and fed the five thousand, give us this day our daily bread, the bread for life s needs. May we who gather at the Lord s Table continue to celebrate the joy of his resurrection and be admitted to the Heavenly Banquet. O Lord, bless our family, our friends and all those in need. We ask you to bless us O Lord and these your gifts, of our Easter meal which we are about to receive from your bounty through Christ our Lord. Rx.
