EASTER SUNDAY
Pastors Thoughts
The celebration of Easter is the spiritually most important Christian
event of the year. Since it celebrates the completion of our
Redemption, the promise of an eternal glorious life purchased at the
price of the shed blood of Jesus, the Son of God, it should be
celebrated with joy and gratitude and renewed enthusiastic living of
our Catholic Faith, which is the means by which we will receive what
Christ has won. Every Easter we relive the moment when, by the divine
power which is His, Christ rises from the tomb, not just alive again, but
transformed by grace, a greater and better life which He will share with
His faithful children. May His saving work not go unheeded by us! At
Easter time we often can be drawn into celebrating the arrival of spring
(for which we may still have to wait a bit…) and even some of the more
recent commercial customs like the appearance of the easter bunny
and the annual egg hunt. While all these things may have a place in
our lives, don’t forget that it all started with the Son of God whose
Passion, Death and Resurrection changes all things. That is a truth the
world needs to hear more and more. Many people in our country and
our world see our Faith as hopelessly out of touch, impossible to live,
and generally unproductive - thus they seek to minimize and
marginalize it. Sadly they fail to see that Christ’s way of living by faith
in the power of His grace and showing it in love is the real way to
change and improve this world - and guarantee a glorious unending
future even beyond this world. May our celebration of Easter be joyful
and spiritually centered so that we can show the world the beauty of
the truth!
