Third Sunday of Easter --  April 14,  2024


"We are witnesses,"  Peter says to the crowds, referring to the Risen Lord.  We heard him preach repentance for the forgiveness of sins.  We know he died for us on the cross.  We have seen him glorified by our God.  We give witness by keeping his commandments.  Luke narrates one of the Risen Lord's appearances to the disciples, in which he calls them witnesses to his resurrection.  Assured of his continuing presence, we too are able to sing,  "Lord, let your face shine on us."


Bishop Michael McGovern and the Diocese of Belleville invite you to   EMMAUS DAYS.    Come encounter Jesus, the Bread of Life, as the Diocese of Belleville celebrates the Eucharistic Revival - Sunday, July 7 - at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows & Monday, July 8 -  at the Cathedral of St. Peter.    Read the rest from the bulletin insert.
