The Lord is risen. He is risen indeed.
May Our Risen Lord shed His blessing upon you and your family. As you read these lines I am preparing or have already begun my journey to the Holy Land for the week of Easter and then fly to Rome for next Sunday's canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II.
I have with me the intention book in which so many parishioners wrote their special intentions. I promise to pray for each of them at all the holy sites I will soon have the privilege to visit. I carry all of me I my heart as I trace the steps of Our Savior and then become a part of a canonization of two great saints.
The Holy Land is such a special place for Christians because we can literally see what Christ saw, walk where He traveled, and be present at all the places where He preached, suffered, died and rose again. In a special way I know the scriptures will come alive for me in a special way in such a holy place.
I hope to blog about my experiences and even video blog on my "Doors of Faith" YouTube channel. Don't forget to check the parish website throughout the week and also click on the YouTube channel where my homilies usually are in order to view the updates.
In Christ,
Msgr. Baker
