ear Parishioners and visitors,

First, I want to extend to all of you, from Fr. Joseph and
myself, best wishes for a Happy and Blessed Easter and
Easter Season. May each one of us be strengthened in
faith, hope, and love. May we be filled with great joy
because the Lord’s Resurrection is a hope and promise
that we also will share in His victory over sin and death.
Happy Easter!
I also want to remind you that Easter is not just one day.
It is a season-long remembrance and celebration of the
most important event in history. The Lord has won the
victory for us as well. He has destroyed sin, darkness,
and death. He is the Light which no darkness can
extinguish. As we celebrate Easter Sunday and the Easter
Season, we pray that the Light of Christ will shine forth for
all to see, in what we say and what we do. Remember
that we are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song!

Have A Great Bethany Beach Week!
Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!

Prayer for Lent

The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, by whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lions’ might;
And John, the bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah’s name.
Then grant us, Lord, like them to be
Full oft in fast and prayer with thee;
Our spirits strengthen with thy grace,
And give us joy to see thy face.
O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
To thee be every prayer addressed,
Who are in threefold name adored,
From age to age, the only Lord.

–Hymn attributed to Pope St. Gregory the Great
