From Our Pastor

From Our Pastor

Dear Folks,

Palm Sunday begins the great celebrations of our faith because the first Holy Week was the most important week ever.  Let the merciful enduring love of Jesus be the lens through which you see everything celebrated this week. Jesus loves you so much that he did all this so that you might know His mercy.
Do you remember how when, after sinning, Adam hid from God?  “When they heard the sound of the LORD God walking about in the garden at the breezy time of the day,* the man and his wife hid themselves from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.” Genesis 3:18
Sadly, things can be much the same now: when God comes looking for us like Adam we sometimes attempt to hide.  Faced with having to look the Lord in the eyes, we can either resent or repent. Adam blamed both Eve and God.  Do we blame the Lord, or accept his mercy. I made an observation that when the movie “The Passion of the Christ” came out folks reacted with either: “look what they say I did to Him” (resent) or “look what I did to him” (repent)! I think even a third option is better:  “look what he did for me!”  Keep your eyes on Him, and know that He gave his life freely for you.
We do have a sacrament where you can look the Lord in the face and give an account of your sins.  Confessions: available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, at 11:30 am and 6:30 pm each day.  Warning, because of procrastination, lines will be much longer on Wednesday… they always are. So have mercy on your parish priests and come ASAP!
pax et bonum,
Father John Mosimann
