"We Should Glory in the Cross..."

With these words, the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper begins and the Paschal Triduum unfolds before us.  In these holiest days, the Church celebrates the mystery of God's love for us in Jesus Christ: suffering, death, and resurrection.  

Our efforts as parish leaders often reflect this same mystery: bringing about needed change - in some cases taking up a cross of suffering and burden - in our faith communities so that new life can begin.  I hope that as the Paschal Cycle continues, and these days of Lent give way to 50 days of unbounded Easter joy, you will find God's grace in your service to your Family of Parishes.

Knowing how busy a time this is for parish leaders, we'll stay out of your inboxes until after the Octave of Easter.  May God bless your Family of Parishes.
