EASTER WEEK Come to the Lord, a living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen and precious in the sight of God, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1peter2:4-5 Christ came lived an exemplary life.  What if we as human chose to live and follow Christ, Christ like.  Would our world be in chaos.  Will there be war, suffering, hatred, killing of the innocent, abuse of children, abuse of nature, all evil that exist leading to destruction of human beings, God's creation.

EASTER We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we to might live in newness of life. Rom. 6:4 When you are betrayed how do  you feel? When people whom you love betray you how do you feel? When friends and your loved ones abandon you how do you feel? When you are hated for doing good how do you feel? When you are wrongly accused how do you feel? When you are lonely and needed some comfort but left all by yourself, how do you feel? When you are mocked at by those you helped, how do you feel? When you are misunderstood how do you feel? etc Christ suffered it all yet he loved us so much, he did good while on the way to Calvary, He forgave, he prayed and gave it all for you and I.

Hebrew9:11-28 Mais Christ est survenu, grand prêtre des biens à venir. C’est par une tente plus grande et plus parfaite, qui n’est   pas œuvre des mains – c’est-à-dire qui n’appartient pas à cette création-ci, et par le sang, non pas des boucs et des veaux, mais par son propre sang, qu’il est entr

Easter Triduum   AT THE LAMB'S HIGH FEAST At the Lamb’s high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath washed us in the tide, Flowing from his pierced side, Praise we him whose love divine, Gives the guest his blood for wine, Gives his body for the feast, Love the victim, love the priest. Where the Pascal blood is poured, Death’s dark angel sheathes his sword, Israel’s hosts triumphant go, Through the waves that drowns the foe, Christ, the Lamb whose blood was shed, Pascal victim, Pascal bread, With sincerity and love, Eat we manna from above.
