On this radiant feast during Bright Week, when the Holy Church celebrates the Life-giving Spring of the Most Holy Theotokos, our parish was granted the great blessing of welcoming our dear brother, Lukas, into the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church through the saving Mysteries of Holy Baptism and Chrismation.

In these days filled with the light of the Resurrection, this sacred moment became for our growing parish a living testimony of the Pascha of the Lord. For just as Christ rose from the dead, so too every newly illumined soul rises to new life in Him. Thus, Lukas now shares fully in the joy of the Resurrection, becoming a member of the Body of Christ and a participant in the eternal life which our Lord has bestowed upon the world.

Truly, this was a Paschal gift for our community—to receive a new brother who now stands with us in the light of the Risen Christ, confessing the true Faith and entering into the life of grace within the Church, which is the Ark of salvation.

May the Lord strengthen him to fight the good fight, to keep the Faith steadfastly, and to grow in repentance, humility, and love. And may He grant him many blessed years within the saving embrace of His Holy Church, unto the salvation of his soul.

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
