April 12, Easter Sunday 3

Dear Parish Family,

Happy Easter! Rejoice for Christ is risen, He lives to die no more. I hope that you all were able to enter into

the mysteries of Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection through private prayer and participation in the papal

or diocesan liturgies. The penitential spirit of Lent has given way to a spirit of joy. Let us rejoice with the risen

Lord and the universal Church throughout this Easter season. Pray for me, I will pray for you.

God bless you,

Fr. Andrew

The Resurrection of the Lord is the “culminating truth of our faith in Christ, documented by the New

Testament, believed and lived as the central truth in the first Christian communities, transmitted by tradition

as something fundamental, unforgotten by true Christians, and, today, something made more profound,

studied, and preached, along with the Cross, as an essential part of the Paschal mystery” (John Paul II,

Audience of January 25th, 1989). It is for this reason that the Apostles are presented as “witnesses to the

Resurrection of Christ” (Acts 1:22) and they were chosen to give witness to the fact that Christ was risen. This

is very clear in the election of Judas’ replacement, which finally fell to Saint Matthias: Peter says that they

had to look for someone who had not only been their companion during the time when Jesus was teaching and

carrying out His ministry, but rather, and above all, this replacement had to be “a witness to His resurrection.”

The Resurrection is the culmination of Revelation. In this regard Saint Paul says something very strong: “If

Christ has not been raised, then empty (too) is our preaching; empty, too, your faith” (1 Cor 15:14). Our faith

would be in vain if Christ hadn’t resurrected, because He would have been just another man: a man with a lot

of wisdom, yes, but man nonetheless. It is clear that Saint Paul finds the foundation for the Christian faith in

the Resurrection, and in it, too, the key to the vault of the entire Christian life. Why? For the Apostles, this is

because, first and foremost, the Resurrection constituted the confirmation of everything that Christ Himself

had “done and taught”: the divine seal was placed upon His words and upon His life.

He Himself indicated this definitive sign of truth to His disciples. Thus, the Apostles will say, “He has been

raised just as He said” (Mt 28:6). With the Resurrection, Christ shows that He is God; He shows His divinity.

He had raised Lazarus, and the daughter of Jairus, showing His divinity, yes, but now He shows it even more

because He Himself comes back from the dead by His own power; in this way He places a seal of truth on

everything that He had said, done, and taught.

“The Resurrection,” says John Paul II, “confirms the truth of His very divinity… In the Resurrection, the fact

that “in Him dwells the whole fullness of the deity bodily” is revealed (Col 2:9)… Thus, the Resurrection

‘completes’ the manifestation of the content of the Incarnation. For this reason, we can say that it is also the

fullness of Revelation” (John Paul II, Audience of March 8th, 1989). The Incarnation is fully understood only

now, at the end; the whole of the life of Christ comes to show, little by little, the reason behind the Incarnation.

The Cross shows it too, but it is completed with His Resurrection.

Pro Life Those who die in God’s grace and friendship live forever with Christ. Heaven is no an abstract idea, but a

true and lasting relationship with God that is beyond all earthly description and understanding. We look

forward to the resurrection of the dead and everlasting life by preparing now, in hope, for our passage from

this life into eternal life.

Rosary Society

The Rosaries you pray this week will be for those mourning the loss of a loved one. May they find peace in the hope

of the Resurrection and Christ’s promise of eternal life.
