What marvelous words we hear this week.
"He is risen".
What a sentence and what a meaning.
You did it Jesus, You fulfilled Your mission of life.
You died so that we might be saved and have the right to enter into the kingdom of God some day.
You broke the chain of sin, and You set us free.
Thank You Jesus and thank You father.
Thank You the triune God, for all the love that You have for us that we don't really deserve.
Thank You for Your marvelous plan that will work out perfectly.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday DEEP-KNEE BENDS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/24/2011
"He saw and believed." -John 20:8
Happy Resurrection Day! Alleluia! Jesus is risen! Alleluia!
While John was waiting at Jesus' tomb for Peter to arrive, the Bible says he "bent
down to peer in" (Jn 20:5). This is not a trivial detail; it indicates the spiritual posture
of those who believe in the risen Jesus. If we are truly to believe in Him, we must bend
down, humble ourselves, and embrace the feet of the risen Jesus (Mt 28:9; see also
Jn 20:17). Only those who humble themselves will be exalted by faith in the risen
Christ (see Mt 23:12; Phil 2:8-9). No one goes up with the risen Lord except the one
who has gone down and "bent down" in humility (see Jn 3:13).
When we renew our baptismal promises today, we are humbling ourselves. We may be
humbly admitting we have wasted years of our lives by not rejecting all Satan's works
and empty promises. In renewing our baptismal promises, we are submitting every
detail of our lives to the Father, through Jesus, and in the Spirit. On this Easter
Sunday, let us humble ourselves, renew our baptismal promises, and believe in the risen Jesus.
Monday THE BETTER HALF

"They hurried away from the tomb half-overjoyed, half-fearful." -Matthew 28:8
Tuesday EASTER EXPRESS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/26/2011
"Mary Magdalene went to the disciples. 'I have seen the Lord!' she announced." -John 20:18

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
PROMOTE VOCATIONS
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
Particularly in these times, when the voice of the Lord seems to be drowned out by
"other voices" and His invitation to follow Him by the gift of one's own life may seem
too difficult, every Christian community, every member of the Church needs
consciously to feel responsibility for promoting vocations.
"ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT"
It is important to encourage and support those who show clear signs of a call to
priestly life and religious consecration and to enable them to feel the warmth of the
whole community as they respond "yes" to God and the Church.
