Happy Easter!
April 21, 2019 ~ Easter Sunday
We will celebrate Easter Mass tonight our usual 7:00PM time.
" Each of us is called tonight to rediscover in the Risen Christ the one who rolls back from our heart the heaviest of stones." ~ Pope Francis, Easter Vigil Homily 2019
Easter Greetings!
The stone that was rolled away is a powerful Easter image of hope. In a world that at times we feel entombed: entombed by personal struggles of anxiety, depression, illness, and loss; by stresses of school and future decisions; by a world filled with violence and terror; by a country at war; by a city plagued by violence. At times the stones of our lives feel more like boulders that entomb us - too big to be rolled away.
As Pope Francis reminds us, today is a day of HOPE! As Easter people we take hope in the simple yet profound image of the rolled away stone of the tomb. The resurrection means that Jesus’ message of peace, freedom, justice and love will overcome any and all obstacles in our way no matter how large they appear.
What are the “boulders” in your life keeping you entombed?
How does Jesus’ resurrection give you hope with these life challenges today?
Easter Hope!
~ Jamie
