He is Risen!

“But rejoice to the extent that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice exultantly” (1 Peter 4:13)

We cannot follow Jesus Christ without sharing in His Cross. “But after the trial, what a reward!” (St. Therese) Just as Christ was “made perfect” by what he suffered (Heb. 5:9) and was able to Rise again and be seated at God’s right hand, so shall we be sanctified through our own sufferings united to the Cross of Christ, and share in His eternal glory in heaven. Amen. Alleluia!

Happy Easter everyone! May you all encounter our living and true God and experience His infinite mercy and love.
