He has Risen - Truly he has Risen! Happy Easter all. Father Paul had us say that like 20x tonight but I love it. Tomorrow is Easter and we celebrate the rising of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Of Course, the kids love the Easter Bunny too. But I always try to make all of that very low key. Enough for the kids to have fun but to remember that today it is about Jesus and his death and resurrection. Easter does have some secularism to it with the Easter Bunny and egg hunts but the truth is I love it because it is not as commercialized as Christmas. In our society today commercialism comes with the territory so to speak but you don't see people fighting where to put rabbits or crosses.
It is a quite time where Passover goes and comes and Easter goes and comes with out much fan fair other then the bunny in the mall. Even with the cold the days get longer and spring is in the air. A renewing of life and our baptismal vows to God. What a perfect time for him to rise. When everything old is new again and life comes back after a long winter.
So when you see someone on the street do what Father Paul does Say He Has Risen and ask them to say to you Truly He Has Risen.
Peace and God Bless.
