He is risen!
April 5th Easter Sunday
Thank You, Jesus, You have risen from the dead and gave us a new and
everlasting covenant of love.
Jesus, You are the way, the truth and the life, and only in You will we
ever find rest and peace.
Jesus, thank You for loving us so much that You died a horrible death
and defeated satan for all time.
Thank You, Jesus, that Your death on the cross covered the forgiveness
of sin for everyone, always.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your unconditional love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday RISEN LIFE IN JESUS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/5/2015
"Since you have been raised up in company with Christ, set your heart
on what pertains to higher realms where Christ is seated at God's
right hand. Be intent on things above rather than on things of earth."
-Colossians 3:1-2
Alleluia! Jesus is risen! His tomb is empty! "Death has no more power
over Him" (Rm 6:9). Alleluia!
Because we've been baptized into Christ, we have died with Him
(Rm 6:4). "If we have been united with Him through likeness to His
death, so shall we be through a like resurrection" (Rm 6:5). This
very day we have already "been raised up" with Jesus to share in His
glorious, heavenly, risen life (Col 3:1).
For many in the United States, the joy of Easter means returning to
the things we gave up for Lent. It's back to chocolate, sweets, soft
drinks, ice cream, etc. Yes, we do have to "celebrate and rejoice"
on Easter (Lk 15:32), and these treats help us to celebrate, but if
we find our joy simply in returning to the old life we lived before
Lent, we will have missed Easter.
Jesus is the Reason for the season! He is risen! We are invited to a
risen life with Him that is so new, powerful, and exciting that we
can't sufficiently celebrate it with the "old yeast," that is, our
old joys and lifestyle (1 Cor 5:7). Let us "be intent on things
above rather than on things of earth" (Col 3:2). Let's celebrate the
fifty-day Easter season by immersing ourselves in God's Word, which
is sweeter than the tastiest candy (Ps 119:103), and in the Eucharist,
the "bread of sincerity and truth" (1 Cor 5:8).
Prayer: Father, give me new, risen ways to celebrate "this new life"
(Acts 5:20). Praise and glory to You, risen Jesus!
Promise: "He saw and believed." -Jn 20:8
Praise: "This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice
in it" (Ps 118:24). Jesus is risen! Alleluia!
Monday THE BETTER HALF
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/6/2015
"They hurried away from the tomb half-overjoyed, half-fearful."
-Matthew 28:8
Tuesday "THEY DO RUN, RUN, RUN"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/7/2015
"Rather, go to My brothers and tell them." -John 20:17

"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

PM Internet Prayer Requests
http://www.presentationministries.com/prayer/prayer.asp
Lord Jesus just to know that there is resurrection from the dead gives
hope to the most buried life. May we descend into the sepulchre with
You, inorder to die to the world and to ourselves and to live only for
You in your glory. Lord may this sepulchre be the sepulchre of our
slavery, where the chains which hold our family under the dominion of
Satan are destroyed, and where we are born anew, as a new creation
called to be free sons and daughters of God. May your risen life break
through this most cold, barren, and dead ground. Free us from the
bondage of poverty and may my wife and I settle our finances by
getting the jobs we desire. In Jesus' mighty name we pray amen.
(Thomas M., South Africa, 4/4/2015 5:55:30 PM)
PRAY THAT I CAN HOLD ON TO MY LENTEN OBLIGATIONS AFTER EASTER. PRAY

Lord let the Spirit and music of the Easter Liturgy that we sing in
the choir touch all who hear and bring them closer to You. Help us to
pour out in song love and worship.

I pray for all Catechumens, those entering Into full communion with

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FATHERS AND FAMILIES
PATIENCE AND PRAYER
Fathers must be patient. Often there is nothing else to do but wait;
pray and wait with patience, gentleness, magnanimity and mercy.
FORGIVENESS AND CORRECTION
A good father knows how to wait and knows how to forgive from the
depths of his heart. .. He also knows how to correct with firmness...
FATHERS ARE IRREPLACEABLE
The Church ... is committed to supporting with all her strength the
good and generous presence of fathers in families, for they are the
irreplaceable guardians and mediators of faith in goodness, of faith
in justice and in God's protection, like St. Joseph.
