EASTER GREETINGS FROM FR SIRBA
I want to wish you and all of your family members a blessed and happy Easter! By His suffering, death and resurrection, Jesus broke the bonds of sin and Satan and even death itself. Through His suffering and death, Jesus made it possible for us to live in freedom as sons and daughters of the most high God. Jesus is truly the source of all life. He is the light of the world. He has shown us the way to the Father, and He offers eternal life to all those who believe in Him. Today, as we celebrate the great mystery of the Resurrection, it’s easy to see why Easter is truly cause for rejoicing and celebration and hope. May God bless you with His peace during this joyful time. He is risen as He said! Alleluia, Alleluia!

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
The Second Sunday of Easter (4/27/2025) is also known as Divine Mercy Sunday. About one hundred years ago, Our Lord entrusted to Saint Faustina Kowalska certain revelations about His mercy. At that time, Jesus made this promise. He said, “I want to grant a complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the feast of My mercy. Whoever approaches the Fountain of Life on this day will be granted complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.” A great time to receive the graces offered by our Lord and to partake in God’s pardon and mercy. There will be confessions, special prayers, and devotions from 1:30 to 2:30pm at Saint Luke’s.

FATHER’S THOUGHTS
Occasionally, Father Sirba has written his thoughts on various subjects. For example, he recently wrote about the right to have an opinion. He has also written about questions we should ask and current customs, social norms, abortion, and much more. To see these, click here. The most recent is from November 17th, 2024.

********************

The Chosen is an artistic portrayal of the life of Jesus and the Apostles. As “The Passion of the Christ”, the creators of this series attempt to show how things might have been if we had been there … using the art of cinematography. It is worth watching, but with the idea that not all of the words, actions, or ideas presented are known to be true. Consider it like looking at a work of art attempting to portray the parable of The Prodigal Son. As we watch “The Chosen,” we turn to prayer and the Gospels for “the truth” but realize the lives of those portrayed must have been amazing! Here is a video where Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie attempt to describe the series and faith and their relationship:
