From our Pastor's Desk

Jesus Christ is Risen! Happy Easter to all. Today we experience Jesus’ victory over death. What joy in knowing that God’s love is stronger than death! The resurrection of Jesus adorns us with a new life of glory. The Heart of our gentle Savior was so aflame with desire for our salvation that He generously shared with us His glory. In His redemption, Our Savior’s love, stronger than death, overflows, melts our hearts, and transforms us. In coming into this world, He raised our nature higher than all the angels, and when transformed, He makes us so like Himself that we may even say we resemble God. In becoming one of us, Our Savior took on our likeness and gave us His.

In today’s Gospel, we heard that Mary Magdalene went early to the tomb of Jesus. Mary Magdalene was hurting all over. She had experienced the healing and liberating love of Jesus; she discovered the joy and meaning of life. And now, everything is gone. Her Master is buried in the tomb. Early in the morning on the first day of the week, she went to the tomb expecting to see a dead body. And she was all the more devastated to discover that the tomb was empty. She thought someone took the body of the Lord away. Her sorrow was turned to resentment and indignation. Even the dead body is gone. Now she is left with nothing.

But something happened in an instant. When she bent over into the tomb, she saw two angels. And when she turned around, she saw Jesus standing there. All of a sudden, everything changed. Jesus was not dead after all. He is alive! That explains the empty tomb. He cannot be subject to corruption. The tomb has no power to hold him. With finality, He has conquered sin and death. For, indeed, He is true God. He is our true Savior. And so, we say, “We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. Because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.”

Promise To Protect - Pledge To Heal

This year we are focusing on the beginning stages of potential abuse where we are not alerted to abuse, necessarily, but rather to inappropriate behavior that often precedes abuse or the attempt of abuse. Grooming is the deliberate manipulation tactic predators use to gain trust.

There are three types of grooming: Physical, Psychological, and Community. Learning to recognize grooming signs is the best way to prevent abuse from happening. Over the next few weekends in April we will present some defining elements of grooming.

If you know of abuse or have a healthy suspicion of abuse, call DCF at
