"He is risen", with these words we celebrate the glorious miracle that You did for us all
on Easter when You rose from the dead, triumphant, fully alive and glorious.
Help us to rejoice as we see our eternal life journey being laid out for us by You.
Help us to feel the joy and peace that tells us we are fully free of the effects of sin
and now fully alive in Your love.
Thank You Jesus for Your love.
Thank You Jesus for Your doing of the fathers will for all mankind.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday LET US CELEBRATE IN TRUTH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/8/2012
"Let us celebrate the feast not with the old yeast, that of corruption and wickedness, but
with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." -1 Corinthians 5:8
The Corinthians were struggling to celebrate the Passover in the spirit of sincerity and
truth. We also are struggling to celebrate the new Passover, Easter. To recover the true
celebration of Easter, we should look at the first Easter day.
On the first Easter morning, Jesus told Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, to
go and tell the Good News to His disciples (Mt 28:10). On the first Easter afternoon,
Jesus walked about seven miles with two of His disciples and interpreted every passage of
Scripture which referred to Him (Lk 24:27). As He did this, the disciples' hearts burned
within them (Lk 24:32). At the end of the afternoon, they recognized the risen Jesus in
the breaking of the bread, that is, in Holy Communion (Lk 24:35). On the first Easter
evening, Jesus opened the apostles' minds to the understanding of the Scriptures (Lk 24:45).
He also commanded them to receive the Holy Spirit and gave them the power to absolve sins
in His name (Jn 20:22-23).
We truly celebrate Jesus' Resurrection through the power of the Spirit. As on the first
Easter, the Spirit will send us forth to evangelize, make God's Word come alive in our
hearts, open our eyes to recognize the risen Christ, especially through the Mass, and call
us to repentance and Confession. If we follow the Spirit's lead in these ways
(see Gal 5:25), we will truly celebrate Easter.

Risen Life
http://presentationministries.com/brochures/RisenLife.asp
"Why do you search for the Living One among the dead? He is not here; He has been raised
up." -Luke 24:5-6
Alleluia! Jesus is risen! He's alive! "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is
your sting?" (1 Cor 15:55) We as Christians have personally had the most overwhelming
experience imaginable. The One Who loves us so much, Who would do anything for us, was
brutally murdered by crucifixion. To have a loved one die is traumatic enough without it
being a violent murder. Amazingly, this ..........................

Pure Love penetrate our sinful hearts, so we may return the love that is justly due Your Heart.

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2012-03.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
EDUCATION IN JUSTICE AND PEACE
GOD SAVES US
... I wish to say emphatically: "It is not ideologies that save the world, but only a
return to the living God, our Creator, the guarantor of our freedom, the guarantor of
what is really good and true ... an unconditional return to God Who is the measure of
what is right and Who at the same time is everlasting love. And what could ever save us
apart from love?" (Address at youth vigil, Cologne, 8/20/2005).
LOVE ENABLES
Love ... is the force that enables us to make a commitment to truth, to justice, to peace...
"BUILDING A FUTURE"
Attentiveness to young people and their concerns, the ability to listen to them and
appreciate them, is not merely something expedient; it represents a primary duty for
society as a whole, for the sake of building a future of justice and peace.
(Source: Message for World Day of Peace, dated 12/8/2011)
