A message from Father Joseph:
Brothers and sisters,
Good portions of our lives are spent like the Israelites in the desert. We are doing what we need to do to accomplish the task at hand, as we (hopefully) put our trust in the Lord for his daily provision for our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
But, by God’s design, there are seasons of increased grace for breakthroughs and for that encouragement we most need in the Lord. The Octave of Easter we are now in is one of those unique opportunities of grace.
This is most clearly seen in the fact of the one of a kind grace offered to all Catholics this coming Sunday - Divine Mercy Sunday. For whoever will receive Our Eucharistic Lord in a state of grace, that is, having repented of all serious and venial sins, and having gone to confession, it will be as if one were re-baptized this coming Sunday!
All is made new!
In Jesus thru Mary,
Fr Joseph
