THE BIG LIE ABOUT THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS.
The GoodNews:
"Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce the news to his disciples.
"And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them.
They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
"While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened.
The chief priests assembled with the elders and took counsel;
then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, telling them,
“You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.’
And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
"The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed.
And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present day." (Matthew 28: 8 - 15).
The Big Lie!
"You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep." (Matthew 28: 13).

Many people today are familiar with the term "fake news."
These are deliberate falsehood, misinformation and lies sown by the opposition to destroy the truth.
The chief priests and elders confronted with the news of the Resurrection of Jesus, bribed the soldiers to lie and sow disinformation that the Body of Christ was stolen by His disciples. This is the Big Lie.
Jesus said that the good seed was sowed by the Sower during the day but the Enemy came at night and sowed tares.
Pope Benedict XVI said that one of the great threats to Christianity today is the existential threat to truth.
Never before in human history has man been confronted by untruth and falsehood from every quarter in such a large scale.
Although the Church has Sacred Scriptures, Sacred Tradition and Magisterium which work together as deposit of faith and source of truth, the Church is still buffeted constantly by flood of disinformation and fake news even from inside the Church.
Every Christian is bound to know the faith in other to bear witness to the truth.
Not just to bear witness to the truth but very importantly to protect himself from falsehood.
Many Catholics leave the Church because they "discovered scripture and the truth" somewhere.
The Church has great Saints that have combatted heresies and falsehood in the Church and about the Church.
These Saints are called Hammers of Heretics.
Some of them are:
St Augustine of Hippo and St Anthony of Padua. Pray to them to protect you from the Big Lie and heresies.
Do not believe them when you hear "His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep."
The Holy Catholic Church honors the Most Holy Eucharist in April.
The Church teaches:
“The Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life." (CCC 1324).
My flesh is real food and My blood is real drink says the Lord.
“Since Christ Himself has said, ‘This is My Body,’ who shall dare to doubt that it is His Body?” (St Cyril of Jerusalem).
Here are quotes from recent Pontiffs on the Eucharist:
“The Eucharist is the secret of my day. It gives strength and meaning to all my activities of service to the Church and to the whole world.” — St. John Paul II.
“The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.” — Pope Francis.
