Easter - this is our Day !


Let’s remember the story:

On Thursday Jesus was arrested on trumped up charges. He was brutally beaten, rushed through a fixed trial and was declared guilty.

The next day, Good Friday, Jesus was crucified. From the cross he forgave those who beat him and nailed him to the cross. He died. He was buried in a borrowed grave.

On the third day, Easter Sunday morning, the grave was empty. His body had not been stolen. He had risen from the grave. He had conquered death. He had defeated evil. He had come back to life. He had resurrected!!

Now there is no grave deep enough; No stone heavy enough; No seal imposing enough; No evil strong enough to keep Christ in the grave. He will win!! Goodness will win!! Truth will win!! Love will win!!

God will ultimately win, and through faith in Jesus, His Church and Sacraments, the victory can be yours as well.

Blessed Easter !

PALM SUNDAY


The Donkey
By G. K. Chesterton

When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.

With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.

The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.
