He is Risen!
April 21st 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.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday BAPTIZED INTO THE RISEN CHRIST
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/21/2019
"Through baptism into His death we were buried with Him, so that, just as Christ was raised from the
dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live a new life. If we have been united with Him
through likeness to His death, so shall we be through a like resurrection." -Romans 6:4-5
Alleluia! Jesus is risen! "Death has no more power over Him" or over us (Rm 6:9). Alleluia forever!
We are "raised up in company with Christ" (Col 3:1) and begin to live a risen life by being baptized
into Christ and thereby into His death and Resurrection. Because we entered the life of the risen
Christ through Baptism, on this first day of Easter the Lord through His Church challenges us to
renew our baptismal promises. Today, we proclaim our faith in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit, for we were baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit. To live our faith in the Holy Trinity, we must reject Satan completely - all his works
and all his promises. To have faith in the Trinity is to believe in the divinity of Jesus. He is the
only Way to the Father (Jn 14:6) and the One Who baptizes us in the Spirit (Mk 1:8). To have faith
in Jesus' divinity spurs us to love His Body, the Church, serving the members sacrificially
(see Eph 5:25), and to obey all that has been revealed by the Lord and taught by His Church.
On this Easter day, make the deepest act of faith you have ever made. Renew your baptismal promises.
Live your Baptism fully. Meet the risen Christ. Alleluia!
Prayer: Father, make me grasp the radical newness of my Baptism (see Lay Members of Christ's Faithful
People, Pope St. John Paul II, 10).
Promise: "He saw and believed." -Jn 20:8
Praise: Jesus is risen! Alleluia forever!
Monday ROAD WARRIOR

The women "hurried away from the tomb half-overjoyed, half-fearful, and ran to carry the good news to
His disciples. Suddenly, without warning, Jesus stood before them and said, 'Peace!' " -Matthew 28:8-9
Tuesday ROOTS
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/23/2019
"It was to you and your children that the promise was made, and to all those still far off whom the
Lord our God calls." -Acts 2:39

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
https://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-11.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
END HUNGER
WE CAN DO IT
We do indeed have the adequate means and framework so that beautiful words and good wishes may
become an action plan of substance that leads effectively to the eradication of hunger in our world.
To this end we need joint efforts, upright hearts, and persistent concern to firmly and resolutely
make the other's problems one's own.
"LACK OF POLITICAL WILL"
There is a fundamental lack of political will. What is needed is the willingness to end hunger, and
this ultimately will not happen without a moral conviction that is shared by all peoples and all
religious persuasions, where the integral good of the person is at the heart of all initiatives and
consists in "doing to another what we would want done to ourselves."
DON'T BE INDIFFERENT
... These are some reflections I wish to share with those men and women who do not allow themselves
to succumb to indifference; who hear the cry of those who do not have the minimum needed to lead a
dignified life.
(Source: Message for World Food Day 2018, issued 10/16/2018)
