"I have risen, and I am with you still, alleluia.
You have laid your hand upon me, alleluia.
Too wonderful for me, this knowledge, alleluia, alleluia." (Entrance Antiphon, Solemnity of Easter Sunday).
"O God, who on this day,
through your Only Begotten Son,
have conquered death and unlocked for us the path to eternity, grant, we pray, that we who keep the solemnity of the Lord’s Resurrection may, through the renewal brought by your Spirit,
rise up in the light of life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever." (Collect on the Solemnity of Easter Sunday).
Brothers and sisters, do you fully realize that our faith, all missionary endeavors, starting with St Paul to the humble missionary today in Honduras, all Church schools and hospitals throughout the centuries, all Bibles, spiritual books, libraries and universities is all based on one truth: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Christ is not risen from the dead, I will be not only a liar but the greatest fool. Look at all the sacrifices I have made over many decades promoting this "fake news". You too reading this will be a liar and a fool. But are we really liars and fools?
Happy Easter Family. We are no fools. No liars!
