From “Hosanna” on Palm Sunday, through “Crucify Him” on Good Friday to “He is Risen” on Easter, we’ve entered once more into the story of Jesus. We’ve recognized our story in His and His story in ours. In this strange time, through ups and downs, joys and sorrows, frustrations and hopes, Jesus has been with us. I, Fr. Peter, the Friars and Staff of St. Bonaventure offer you our prayers for Easter. May your faith be rekindled, your hope be renewed and your love be deepened through the re-telling and re-living of His story. It’s message is ever-ancient, ever-new: Jesus Christ Risen is God with us- always. Happy Easter.
Fr. Dennis

We may pray this Act of Spiritual Communion when we are not able

to be physically present at Mass:

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself.

If wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen

YES LORD!
