Saint Dunstan Catholic Church Easter Sunday March 23rd, 2008 Bulletin
		When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.
		— Colossians 3:4

	The Lord is Risen! “This day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad” (Psalm 118:24) This day we are remade, let us rejoice and be glad. On behalf of our parish staff I wish you all a happy and peaceful Easter. Easter Sunday is a day all about seeking. The early Christian communities gathered around the Apostles, seeking more about the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus. Saint Paul told the baptized Colossians to “seek what is above.” Mary of Magdala went to the tomb, seeking to find the Lord’s body so that she could anoint it. We come to church on Easter Sunday, seeking many things. For some of us, this is a once a year journey, when we seek connection with the foundations of the Christian faith. For others, this day is the culmination of a long journey of Lenten repentance. For the newly baptized, this is the first day of a new life filled with promise and expectation. Whatever it is that we seek, let us be inspired by the disciple whom Jesus loved who, when he saw the wrappings of cloth inside the empty tomb, “he saw and believed.” Let us keep in mind as we seek the Lord, that the Risen Lord continually seeks us.
