Happy Easter 2013

Dear Readers, I wish each of you a Sunday filled with the joy and love that we Christians feel today because it is Easter Sunday. The Easter story told by St. Luke is below. To our Jewish brothers and sisters, Passover has just been celebrated and Jews all over the world feel the special joy of their holy feast. To our Moslem brothers and sisters, I wish for you peace and unity with all who yearn for brotherhood and love among all people. This year especially, may we all take hope from the beauty of the way chosen by the new Pope Francis. If we all work together for good, we will change the world and make it a better place, as Michael Jackson wrote. St. Luke 24:1-8. On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2  They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3  but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4  While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5  In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them,“Why do you look for the liv~~ing among the dead? 6  He is not here; he has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8  Then they remembered his words.
