Welcome to The Diocese of Covington
Easter 2008

My dear Friends in Christ:

What a wave of emotions the Apostles must have gone through during the events leading up to the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus! On Thursday gathering with Him in the upper room for the Last Supper, hearing Him speak of His betrayer, teaching them that their lives were to be lives of service, predicting His death, entrusting to them the gift of the Eucharist. On Friday witnessing, albeit from afar, the horrible suffering and death of their Lord, their hopes dashed, their dreams gone, their faith tested. On Saturday, the long wait in vigil, despondent, discouraged, disheartened.

But then came Sunday when the Lord Jesus, true to His word, rises from the dead to conquer sin and death, to bring renewed hope, to fulfill His promise! What tremendous joy must have enveloped the Apostles. It is that joy which is the gift of the Lord to us all. It is that joy that fills the heart and mind and soul of the believer. It is that joy that moves us to shout Alleluia! The Lord is indeed risen from the dead!

It is this joy, my dear friends, that I wish you at this Easter season and throughout the year. Let us rejoice in Jesus our Lord and Savior, in Jesus, risen from the dead! I wish you and all those you love a very blessed, joy-filled Easter! Alleluia! The Lord is indeed risen!

Yours devotedly in the Lord,
Most Rev. Roger J. Foys, D. D.
Bishop of Covington
