Go Deeper During Easter
“For Christ the Lord hath risen,
our Joy that hath no end!." - St. John of Damascus
He is Risen! Our Lord has risen and that has made all the difference in the world.
We can truly follow our Lord’s advice, “Be not afraid.” Instead, we can go into world with boldness and joy, to proclaim to the world how deep and wonderful is God’s love for us, as evidenced in life, passion, death, and resurrection of our Lord.
We have a 50 day season to celebrate Easter. It’s even longer than Lent or Advent or the Christmas Season. Take the time to unpack for yourself the meaning and power of the resurrection and deepen your relationship with our Risen Lord. It makes all the difference in the world. It is what makes us disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Besides the Easter activities found in our parish and archdiocese,
here are some personal resources:

“Seek a relationship
when you pray, not answers.
You won't always find answers,
but you will always find Jesus."”
