Easter Message

Friday, April 19th, 2019

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Our Lady of Mount Carmel,

Happy Easter! Thank you for being here today to celebrate the central mystery of our Catholic faith. We believe that Christ is Risen! Inside that awesome mystery is packed all that we also believe about Our Lord Jesus Christ.

This year I have been preaching a great deal about the cross of Christ and the redemptive power of his death. On Easter we highlight the culmination of that great Paschal Mystery.

Your presence here today means that you get it. You have chosen to be a follower of Christ and today is one of those days when we say so proudly.

Fr. Dan O’Neill, O.Carm.

You also need to know that at the Easter Vigil last night we welcomed nine more persons of various ages into our Roman Catholic faith. This is very good news at a time when not all the news is good.

I hope that by now you have caught on to my habit of thanking you every time you come. Today I wish to say it even more loudly and to pray for God’s blessing upon each of you, your loved ones near and far, and our entire Church.

Christ is Risen! Alleluia! Happy Easter!

Sincerely yours in Christ and Our Lady of Mount Carmel,

fr. Dan
