world to participate in this awesome and faith-filled event. The
deadline for registration and the initial deposit to hold your spot is MAY 1,
2014. There is limited space. For more details and registration form, see www.rcdony.org/WYD
or contact Marika Donders at mdonders@rcdony.org.
MARRIAGE TIP:
If you want someone to change, encouragement is more effective than criticism.
Look for one thing about your spouse or child’s behavior that you can
compliment today. Although easier with pre-schoolers, perhaps sending an older
child an e-mail or text would work. Kiss your spouse. Find more Marriage Rx at www.foryourmarriage.org.

EASTER
EGGS: Did you know that Easter Eggs originated in
northern Europe soon after Christianity was established there? Always regarded as symbols of spring and new
life, the egg also represents the stone tomb left empty when Christ rose from
the dead. It is little wonder the custom
of decorating eggs for such a festive occasion became a custom we still follow
today.
EASTER
LILY: Did you know that the Easter lily has always
been a traditional symbol of beauty, perfection, purity and goodness? With a beautiful spring bloom known as a
trumpet, and such a sweet fragrance, it has become a true symbol of
jubilation. It is as welcome after the
winter snows as the Easter Alleluia!
THANK YOU:
A very special thanks to all who assisted in any way to prepare and
participate in the many details involved in the prayer and Liturgy of the days
of Holy Week.
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY: The Second Sunday of Easter (April 27) has been named Divine Mercy Sunday, a yearly
invitation to Catholics to face, with confidence, the difficulties and trials
that persons experience throughout the year. Devotion to Divine Mercy was
promoted by Saint Faustina, a Polish nun born in Glogowiec, Poland, on August
25, 1905. She became a nun in the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of
Mercy. Beginning on February 22, 1931, and through her death in 1938, Saint Faustina
received revelations and visits from Christ. In 1934, she began recording these
in a diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul.
A
BLESSED EASTER!
ALLELUIA!
ALLELUIA!
