PRAYER TO THE RISEN CHRIST
Heavenly Father and God of mercy,
We no longer look
For Jesus among the dead,
For He is alive
And has become the Lord of Life.
From the waters of death
You raise us with Him
And renew your gift of life within us.
Increase in our minds and hearts
The risen life
We share with Christ
And help us to grow as your people
Toward the fullness of eternal life with you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord,
AMEN

Fr. Terry and the staff of St. Catherine’s would like to wish all of you a Blessed Easter!

Just for Laughs - It was the day of the big sale. There was a long line that formed in front of the store before it opened. A small man pushed his way to the front of the line, only to be pushed back, amid loud and colorful curses. On the man's second attempt, he was punched square in the jaw, and then thrown to the end of the line again. As he got up the second time, he said to the person at the end of the line...
"That does it! If they hit me one more time, I won't open the store!"
