FINANCIAL NEWS
Liturgy and Life
by Tim McManus, Pastoral Associate of Worship
Easter Sunday is not having the same “feels” as previous
years. No in-church service, new clothes, lilies, and large
gatherings.
Consider the first Easter. Nothing felt right for the women
going to the tomb. Their Master was dead, and they carried
fresh linens. Happiness and joy were far from their hearts.
Then came the appearance of angels.
Next, they saw the empty tomb.
After that, Jesus appeared to them.
Finally, the doubts, scorn, and ridicule of the apostles.
The first Easter had all the feels, but not in a way that we’ve
come to experience. Until this year.
If we allow ourselves to believe in the Resurrection, then
God will use everything to His glory. If we die with Him, we
will rise with Him. There is no lack in God’s kingdom, but
there is abundant joy in the end.
So, do not let your hearts be troubled by not having the
perfect honey ham, the spring break cruise, or the extended
family visits. Jesus is here among us in our disbelief, our
scorn, our doubts. Easter still rolls away the stone in front of
our hearts.
That is reason enough to sing “Jesus Christ is risen today”
and end it with a full bodied “Al-le-lu-i-a!”

Easter Candle 2020
This year’s Easter candle was
designed by parishioner Jessica
Bohrer using acrylic paints on
canvas, which is wrapped around
the candle.
The cross is centered with a band
depicting thorns at the top and a
band of roses at the bottom.
These details were chosen to
represent the thorns surrounding
the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the
roses, surrounding the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The cross is painted silver with a
band of gold on a background of
blue, and bordering bands are
done in a palette of green,
burgundy and gold.
Many thanks to Jessica for
sharing her beautiful artwork!

quickly and tell his
disciples, ‘He has been
raised from the dead, and
he is going before you to
Galilee; there you will see
him.’ Behold, I have told
you.” - Mt 28:5b-7
