Jesus is alive – celebrate on Easter Sunday! - from Fr. Warren

HAPPY EASTER! - JESUS IS ALIVE! “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9 Dear Michele, What joy we celebrate today knowing that Christ is risen. Through Him, God offers us the gift of salvation! Jesus is the solution for all our troubles today. He understands the challenges that we often experience. His choices and His values went against the culture of His day. Those who opposed Jesus had to silence Him, so they hung Him on a cross. But to the surprise of all, He did not stay dead! He rose again, and through our relationship with Him we are reconciled to God. Because He is righteousness for those who believe, we are able to follow His example and live rightly in our world. Jesus is about the decisions we make at business and school. He is about honesty and caring and concern for others. He is about ethics and fidelity. He is about truth. He is about making relationships work. He is about keeping one’s word. Jesus loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him in heaven. Jesus loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him in heaven. The resurrection we celebrate today is more than God’s answer to the problem of death. The resurrection of Christ has as much to say about living as about dying. The resurrection of Christ is a unique sign that this world, as well as the world to come, is filled with new beginnings if we try to live as He did. Because of Christ’s resurrection, we are made righteous by faith in Him. We praise You, o’ God, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world. Happy Easter! Jesus is alive! Father Bob Warren, S.A. Yours in Christ, Fr. Robert Warren, S.A. Spiritual Director
