from the desk of FR Russell(Mar 29 2020)
Meditating on our Lord’s Passion
as we enter Holy Week, we share
His suffering in a more palpable
way. We perceive the praise of the
lowly and the scorn of the mighty.
The world is passing away. The Lord is preparing a new heavens and a new earth through perseverance in obedience to the Father, compassion on those who make Him suffer. We join with those struggling to breathe: there is Jesus. We join with those laying down their lives for others: first responders. We join with those bearing the cross of the common good: those in authority. Jesus knew it all. He is the King of Glory. He invites us to join Him.
In Christ,
Fr. Russell

STAY HEALTHY AND GOD BLESS,
In Christ, Son of Mary, Fr. Russell
