Resurrection of the Lord Parish
Of Mind and Heart
This fourth Sunday of Lent is traditionally called “Laetare Sunday”, a name derived from the proper entrance antiphon, “Rejoice, Jerusalem”. In this year’s cycle of readings, we get the Gospel about the “Prodigal Son”. It reminds us that no matter what we have done or failed to do, God stands ready to welcome us back. No matter how far we’ve strayed, rejoice! for we are never too far gone to return to God. In that regard, you are invited to a couple opportunities to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There will be a Communal Penance Service today (Sunday) at Holy Trinity in Pinconning at 2:00 p.m. and this Tuesday in Standish at 7:00 p.m. (No fooling).
This Wednesday, we move to St. Joseph in Alger for our “Soup Luncheon” at noon with the soups provided by the Finance Committee. After lunch, we have a presentation called Forgiven, a reflection on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This presentation will go a little longer than our other videos (31 minutes), but it’s engaging and informative.
We continue our sign up for picture appointments for the Church Directory or online as was noted in last week’s bulletin insert. These opportunities to get family or individual portraits don’t come often. Every participant who has their picture taken by Universal Church Directories, gets a free 8 x 10 picture and a church directory.
Peace,
Fr. Ron
