     EASTER NOVENA OF MASSES        
At Mission Church we remember our connection to God through our loved ones with a special Novena of Masses beginning on Easter Sunday. We are inviting you to enroll your loved ones, living or deceased, in a Novena of Masses to be celebrated in the Basilica beginning on Easter Sunday. Flowers and candy are fine, but long after they are gone, the fruits of the Mass will remain.  If your loved ones have gone on to God, you cannot reach them with any gift but the spiritual.  Enroll them in the Easter Novena.
   
             EASTER FLOWERS
We have envelopes in the back of church and in the Parish Office for those who may wish to help with this year's Easter decorations.

Richard Bennett, CSSR   PRAY THE ROSARY THE CRANES AND THE ABBESS FROM ORFORDAcross the river from Orford, I saw a flock of cranes arise. With straightened necks and legs like stilts rising before my eyes. The cranes came in the Springtime but did not long bide. They would make their nests on some distant stretch along the riverside. The town of Orford like other towns is a restless place at best. Young folks leave as the cranes left for a final place of rest. One day, a young girl from Orford set out at break of day And drove to a hill near St. Botolph's town. A score of miles away, She joined nuns working in a field, praising God night and day, She left all things behind her, even the clothes she wore, And clothed herself with rough Trappist robes to wear forevermore.  The cranes came in their season as long as they could fly, But the years roll on and it may be their coming has long gone by. The young girl is now abbess like abbesses of old, Chosen to rule with mother love and not with power or gold. The Orford folk love the abbess though she left for the cloistered hill, They know that she prays for them night and day and so is with them still.  The abbess prays for the young folk seeking a place of rest, That they find their own road to the heart of God and that will be the best. - John E. Doherty, C.Ss.R.
