SECOND SUNDAY OF THE MONTH!THERESA SLOCUM

SACRISTAN

A

During the winter months, many of us have been plotting the resurrection by

planting tiny seeds of hope in the sometimes frozen soil of our lives. Like the delicate

and hardy crocus rising through the leaves of last fall and the snow of last week,

some of the seeds that we planted have found enough nourishment to grow.

The deeper our commitment becomes to the growth of that seed, the more energy

that is stirred within us to find even more creative ways to contribute to the seed.

The process of making the choices becomes not a discipline but a joy as we anticipate

the actual experience. Choices for life and growth have this energy. They can heal,

strengthen, and renew us at the very core of our persons.

Many of us experience the grace of God in our lives in this way: a relentless, creative

energy directed toward life, growth and wholeness, as living within the cold and

barren as well as the warm and fertile soil of our lives.

…Relationships can be reconciled. Peace can be realized. We can become whole.

Life can come from death. Wonders have not ceased.

Possibilities not yet dreamed can happen.…

Diocese Documentary

WVIA Public Media, in partnership with the Diocese of Scranton,

has produced a one-hour documentary on the history of the Diocese. It is sponsored in part by Grimm Construction, Inc., Waymart.

The documentary highlights the people, places and events that have shaped the Catholic Church in northeastern and north central Pennsylvania – from the earliest days of settlers and missionary bishops and priests in the wilderness, to the creation of the

Diocese in 1868, to its growth over the last 150 years.

The current broadcast schedule:

CTV: Catholic Television: Tuesday, April 3, 8:00pm

Wednesday, April 4, 10:00am Monday, April 9, 9:00am Thursday, April 12, 2:00pm Friday, April 13, 8:00pm

The documentary will also be available for viewing on the Diocesan website

(www.dioceseofscranton.org) after March 22.
