April 1st Easter Sunday
Thank You, thank You Jesus, for giving us the right to someday come home and spend eternity in
heaven with the Triune God.
Jesus, You died that we might have life and have it fully.
Jesus, You rose to show us that there is an eternal life for all.
Your love is beyond all understanding and yet You, God, became one of us in all things but sin.
Then Lord, You carried all the sins of mankind to the cross, so that we could be free.
Thank You for all that You do and have done for us.
Thank You for continuing to love us, and helping us, and walking with us, till the day we come
home to You.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday DEATH DEFEATED!
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/1/2018
"They killed Him, finally, hanging Him on a tree, only to have God raise Him up on the third
day." -Acts 10:40
"God did not make death" (Wis 1:13), "for God formed man to be imperishable; the image of His
own nature He made him. But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world" (Wis 2:23-24).
"The devil, the prince of death" made us his lifelong slaves by manipulating us through our
fear of death (Heb 2:14-15). Thus, "sin reigned through death" (Rm 5:21).
After millennia of death's tyranny over the human race, Jesus was conceived and born into this
world. Jesus called Himself "the Life" (Jn 11:25; 14:6). Jesus was stronger than death. On
several occasions, He raised the dead (Mt 9:18ff; Lk 7:15; Jn 11:44). He commanded His
disciples to do the same (Mt 10:8). Then Satan convulsed before the divine life of Jesus.
Satan used us to put Life to death on the cross. The prince of death appeared to reign supreme.
On the third day, however, Jesus rose from the dead. "He has robbed death of its power"
(2 Tm 1:10). All of Satan's forces of death are routed. We who believe in Jesus can taunt
death: "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" (1 Cor 15:55)
Renew your baptismal promises. Reject the prince of death and his culture of death. Believe in
the Father of life, Jesus our Life, and the life-giving Spirit. "Death is swallowed up in
victory" (1 Cor 15:54). Alleluia! Alleluia forever!
Prayer: Risen Jesus, I will be Your witness (see Acts 10:41).
Promise: "He saw and believed." -Jn 20:8
Praise: "This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice" (Ps 118:24). Alleluia!
We are free indeed! (Jn 8:36)
Monday FAITH DEFEATS MONEY
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/2/2018
"They, in turn, convened with the elders and worked out their strategy, giving the soldiers a
large bribe." -Matthew 28:12
Tuesday VICTORY GARDEN
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/3/2018
"She supposed He was the gardener." -John 20:15

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
GOD'S CALL TO JOY
DON'T WAIT TO BE PERFECT!
We should not wait to be perfect in order to respond with our generous "yes", nor be fearful of
our limitations and sins, but instead open our hearts to the voice of the Lord. To listen to
that voice, to discern our personal mission in the Church and the world, and at last to live it
in the today that God gives us.
MAY MARY ACCOMPANY US
May Mary Most Holy, who as a young women living in obscurity heard, accepted and experienced the
Word of God made flesh, protect us and accompany us always on our journey.
GOD'S PLAN
Next October ... the Synod of Bishops will meet to discuss the theme of young people and in
particular the relationship between young people, faith and vocation. There we will have a
chance to consider more deeply how, at the center of our life, is the call to joy that God
addresses to us and how this is "God's plan for men and women in every age"
(Synod of Bishops, ... Young People, The Faith and Vocational Discernment, Introduction).
