Easter 2015

Christian witness, From the Pastor, Prayer, St. Valentine /

Dear Parishioners and Friends, Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

‘When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go and anoint him. Very early when the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb. They were saying to one another, “Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back; it was very large. On entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were utterly amazed. He said to them, “Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been Raised from the dead’ — Mark 16:1-7

In St Paul’s first letter to the Christian congregation of Corinth (56 or 57 A.D) we have the oldest summary of Christian belief. St Paul refers to his former preaching in Corinth in 51 A.D and declares that he received the Gospel as witnessed by the Apostles and disciples: I Paul handed on to you first of all what I myself received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried and, in accordance with the Scriptures, rose on the third day; that he was seen by Cephas, then by the Twelve. This is what we preach and this is what you believed — 1 Corinthians 15:3-5.

Please trust the Lord and pray daily. Church and St Valentine Parish is our home where we meet as Christian Family with our Lord Jesus Christ to celebrate His Resurrection, to be forgiven, and to receive Jesus’s Body and Blood in the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Please come and join us as a community of faith for Sunday Holy Mass every week! Feel always welcomed and at home in our Church! We are all called to follow Jesus, to be his disciples, to pray, to work together and to support our Parish!

Easter Blessing!

Through the Resurrection of his Son God has redeemed you and made you his children. May He bless you with joy. Amen
The Redeemer has given you lasting freedom. May you inherit his everlasting life. Amen
By faith you rose with him in baptism. May your lives be holy, so that you will be united with him forever. Amen
May almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. R. Amen
