Spiritual Advisor's Corner
Father Timothy Sahd
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Easter came early this year, didn't it? We're not going to get the flowers that usually show up at Easter like we normally do, and we're not going to get the consistently warm weather like we usually get during this time of year. That's too bad.
I remember one Easter a few years ago, which also was very early. I was at my last assignment - St. Joe's in Mechanicsburg. It was freezing. But as I was walking to the church for Easter morning Mass, I noticed that four daffodils sprang up - the only daffodils or any other flowers on the whole property. What a beautiful gift!
Even better, where did they spring up? On the outside wall of the church, directly behind where the tabernacle with Our Savior's Body rested. Flowers sprang up in the one place where Life -- all Life -- lives. In the Sacraments!
Happy Easter: He is Risen, He is Risen indeed! Even better, this is not a one-day celebration. Easter is a reminder that the Risen Lord is shared with us each time we receive Him in the Sacraments! Thanks be to God for our Faith!
Fr. Sahd
