Word from the Pastor

Message from the Pastor Msgr. Kenneth Schwanger

My Dear Family of Our Lady of Lourdes,

Jesus Christ is risen

His victory over death is our hope and our promise. He has rebuilt the temple destroyed by sin. We are that temple. In Jesus we are freed from all that oppresses us, both from within and from without. How different life is joyous and free when our eyes truly see, our ears truly hear, and we come to understand and believe that sin and death have lost their power over us because Jesus Christ is risen.

Jesus' Resurrection saves not just the human family in general but each one of us in particular. In Him we are healed, forgiven and reborn into God's own life. To know, to experience, and to go forward to live this truth is the Easter gift I pray from the Lord for each and every one of us. Living in the Resurrection of Christ casts off the worry, fear, and self concern that drains life out of a person and inspires that generous and hope filled love that not only blesses the one loved but also the one loving.

All is new. Why? Because Christ is risen.
He is risen indeed.

Happy Easter!

Msgr. Schwanger
Pastor
