EASTER’S LILY
Published Long Story Short


Easter had seen
Burst of green
In garden’s room
White lily blooms
Pure as white
Point of light
To grace the way
This Easter Day
Awakens spring
Hear Angels sing
Each Easter gives
Behold, God lives

In their Easter Bonnets of lace
Three darling sisters pose in place
Bathe by the glow of sunlight
Shining in Heaven’s spotlight
Together they stood dressed alike
Fashions sewed by Mom in white
Holding hands on bended arm
Spun a circle of loving charm
This is the day the Lord has made
Three sisters bow and prayed
Dressed in their Sunday best
On this Easter Day, God Bless

"EGGS IN-A-BASKET"

Food for thought for this Easter season’s menu – try “Eggs-in-a-Basket”. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket - crack an egg to fry up a sunny side egg in a slice of bread.

I can still taste Mom’s favorite breakfast for us kids. And we helped…scooping a hole out of the slice Wonder bread, soaking the bread in an oil lined frying pan, and cracking an egg sunny side up into the hole to fit.

Easy to make, quick to serve from pan to plate and the kids ate up the fun Easter “Eggs-in-a-Basket” breakfast - easy cooking to start off a busy holiday. The Easter Bunny doesn’t all the eggs. Try all different kinds of bread. My Italian Grandma used Italian slice bread.  Of course it can be served any day, not just on Easter.

The name fits the day.  Apparently with “Eggs-in-a-Basket” for Easter breakfast we ate our words.

Lent is to Catholics is what Spring Training is to baseball.

Catholics are in training for the Blessed Easter season. With our prayer, penance and sacrifice to the Lenten observances we shall be prepared for the divine celebration of Easter.

Happy Easter!

Easter Poem – The Greatest Story Ever Told  



At the Last Supper spread


The Fest of unleavened bread


“My appointed time draws near” Jesus said


One will betray me as Scriptures read


Blessed is the Holy Trinity

Behold our divine history

“Take and eat, for this is my body”

He took a cup, “Drink from it…

This is my Blood of Covenant”

The kiss of sinner concede to deliver

Blessed Jesus to the unbeliever

Alas, mere thirty pieces of silver

Paid to Judas disloyal giver

 “Hail King of Jews!” they cried

“Let him be crucified!”

Death of Jesus miraculously defy

Rise the Son of God, Jesus is alive

The Gospels of Mathew foretold

Sacred Scriptures words of gold

Glory to God, Son of Man behold

The Greatest Story ever told

Come Home to the Church - An Easter Visit

by Susan Marie Davniero
Published Lindenhurst Gazette


Easter came early this year - falling on last day of March. We felt a slight chill that awakened us in the morning air as my husband, Bob and I, briskly walked into the Church for an Easter visit.

On this holiday, faithful townspeople accompany us, in haste as if to arrive before "the show begins" The sunshine brilliance is glorious as if the Lord Himself smiles upon us.

How heavenly the church is dressed for the holiday, thinking as I look toward the altar walking to our pew. The church's altar is blissfully adorn with luxurious white drapes, graced by white lilies, as the gold glisten off the Holy gilded ornaments appears to be kissed by the sunlight through the multi-colored stain windows.

A respectful rule of silence is followed as we all rise to greet the congressional line of altar servers led by the Priest. The silence is broken by the soft hail of a parishioners baby cry from the back of the church.

I notice the Priest officiating at this morning Mass is the newly ordained Father John, adorn in a white vestment festive garment to serve the Lord, like the good shepherd leading his flock. Father John serves his master well as he captivates the congregation by his inspiring homily and worship.

Church is a place where singing the hymns loud is nearly as important as singing them right ? as I join in. I try to sing better than last week as we all sing "Alleluia! Alleluia!"

As the mass proceeds my faith grows stronger and I leave the church feeling better than I did before I entered. The Lord is divinely hospitable. We had a Blessed Easter visit at the House of God.
 
My mind wanders back to another Easter visit at my parents home. I was young, barely 18, finding my own way. Alas, my way was leading me away from the church. I can still hear my Dad's plea; "Go back to church" as if it was an answer to all my youthful problems.

That was then, this is now. As I sit today at Church I whisper, as if my beloved deceased Dad, Gerard Fischetti, can hear me; "Dad, I am back." The answer is there. Dad was right.

The church welcomes everyone back. Their door is always open. Regardless of attire, wealth, or creed - all are invited for a visit at the House of God. Come home to the church. You can go home again, after all.

The Legend of the Easter Eggs Basket


It was during Biblical time

One early Sunday morning

The Tomb of Jesus Divine

Mary Magdalen had warning

As she went to Jesus tomb

With a basket of eggs lunch along

Behold an empty tomb loomed

The body of Jesus was gone!

Shocked she sets the basket down

To better explore the tomb now

Suddenly white eggs she found

Turned the colors of the rainbow

Thus, perhaps the story may fit

The legend of the Easter Eggs Basket
