EASTER SUNDAY!

TODAY I AM BLINDED BY GLORY.  THE MIRACLE OF THE RESURRECTION LEAVES ME AWESTRUCK EVERY YEAR. AND SO ONCE AGAIN WE CELEBRATE THE GREATEST LOVE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN…

DURING (ONLINE) MASS TODAY WITH BISHOP BARON (WORD ON FIRE) HE SPOKE ABOUT THE TRUTH OF THE EVENT.  ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT STRUCK ME ABOUT THE BISHOP’S SERMON WAS WHEN HE SAID THE APOSTLES WERE ON FIRE AFTER THE RESURRECTION AND PROCLAIMED,”WE ATE AND DRANK WITH HIM AFTER HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD.” CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO SAY THAT? 

NOT MYTHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS BUT REAL PEOPLE WHO SPOKE OF WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED. REAL PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN REAL PLACES ON EARTH. AND REAL PEOPLE WHO WERE MARTYRED FOR THEIR BELIEFS. REAL FOLLOWERS LIKE THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO PROCLAIM AND LIVE THE FAITH RIGHT UP UNTIL TODAY!  THE MIRACLE OF CONQUERING DEATH AND STILL OFFERING FORGIVENESS TO US WHO KILLED GOD AND WHO WOULD PROBABLY DO IT TODAY IF WE HAD THE CHANCE.

AND THIS TRUTH GIVES ME HOPE.  THIS TRUTH IS THE REASON I HAVE PEACE IN MY HEART DURING THIS PANDEMIC : THAT GOD IS FORGIVING AND LOVES ME.  HE LOVES US. AND IF HE CAN CONQUER DEATH HE CAN CERTAINLY ANSWER OUR PRAYERS. 

“I WILL SING OF YOUR SALVATION” 

HAPPY EASTER ALL.  MAY YOU ALSO FEEL PEACE IN YOUR HEART AND HOMES.
