A Season Of Joy
"They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers" (Acts 2:42). This first line of today's first reading sets the tone as this fifty-day celebration of Easter opens before us. Today we listen to the teachings of three apostles-Luke, Peter, and John-who remind us that even though we have not seen Christ, we nonetheless are filled with joy as we place our belief in his saving death and resurrection. Each week during the Easter season we will gather as a community of faith to find strength and support from our God and from one another. Each week we will gather to break bread and offer the great prayer of thanksgiving, actions that will manifest the very presence of the risen Christ in our midst. Let us be open to the wonders of this season of joy.

A letter from Cardinal Egan:
Dear friends in the Lord:
We are truly delighted that the Bicentennial Anniversary of the Archdiocese of New York will be brought to an extraordinarily happy conclusion with the visit of our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, to New York. This historic occasion will indeed be a time of great spiritual grace for Catholics and all of the people of Greater New York.

As everyone will understand, the cost of an event of this kind is very high. Accordingly, I write to invite all of the People of God of the Archdiocese to make a truly sacrificial offering to help defray some of the expense of the Papal Visit. A collection will be taken up in each of the parishes of the Archdiocese on the weekend of April 5th and 6th. Your participation in this collection and your prayers for the success of the Holy Father's visit will be deeply appreciated.

With prayerful best wishes, may I remain
Very truly yours in Christ,
Edward Cardinal Egan
Archbishop of New York
