Easter Greetings
April 3, 2020
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
One of the beloved, traditional hymns for Easter begins,
“The strife is o’er, the battle done,
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun. Alleluia.”
The tune, written by Palestrina, is majestic and is named “Victory.”
Easter Sunday, the celebration of Our Lord’s Resurrection, begins the 50 day celebration of Jesus’ victory over evil, sin and death. The Easter Season continues until Pentecost Sunday on May 31st.
It took months, years for the first disciples to understand the impact of Jesus’ resurrection. The “victory” was not obvious. The disciples went into hiding; they feared for their lives.
The new life, the hope, the love, the healing experienced during the 40 days the Risen Christ appeared before his Ascension slowly transformed the world. “The victory of life” found through our faith in Jesus Christ is still transforming each of us and our world.
We don’t know when the strife of COVID-19 will be over. We do know that God’s love will sustain us. Jesus’ Resurrection began a new way to live and understand God. This new start can be experienced each and every day. It is seen in our faith, our hope and our love.
Cathy, Janet, David, Tom, Terry and I send you our prayers and hopes for a Blessed Easter. The Easter offering is designated for the Tri-Town Councils on Aging: Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester. Donations will be equally split. We give in thanksgiving for their extraordinary efforts on behalf of our seniors and our entire community. Checks may be made out to St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church, and annotated in the lower left corner, “Easter Offering,” along with our special Easter Offering envelopes, these good gifts will go to help and bless our neighbors and community.
Please join us on Sundays at 10am for our live-stream at vimeo.com/event/22196. The service bulletin for Easter Sunday can be found here.
Grace and Peace,
The Rev. Robert H. Malm
