Der Hayr's Weekly Message

Names commemorated today and this week:
Haroutiun, Haro, Ardem, Artur, Artin, Kulkhateer, Hovahness

Look into the eyes of the Resurrected Lord and ask yourself what more do I really need in this life? The 40 days of Lent and Holy Week are now behind us and we stand before the Holy Table of Our Lord and Savior and Proclaim the victory of life over death and of light over darkness.

The glory of the Resurrection for those who believe in Christ Jesus, there is no more an awesome mystery than this in this life, there is hope, there is love, there is joy and gladness as we witness the empty tomb and proclaim the very reality upon which the Church was founded: Christ is Risen from the dead. By Death He trampled upon death and to those in the tombs He is bestowing life. This dearly beloved faithful is the Church for we are the dwelling place of the living God. The very God who proclaims to us: Do not be afraid but only believe and you too shall have eternal life.

Let all proclaim to the glory of the Father that Jesus Christ is Lord:

Let us proclaim on this Holy Easter morning that through His suffering and Resurrection we are cleansed of our sins. Alleluia!!!!!!!

May we be worthy of His mercy, love, and forgiveness. Alleluia!!!!!!

CHRIST IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD INDEED HE IS RISEN
BLESSED BE THE GLORIOUS RESURRECTION OF CHRIST

Please remember the ill and confined in your prayers.
