PRO LIFE– CORNER Thank you for praying for me! I am 8 months
old now. I’ve got long fingernails and I’m
busy getting ready for my birthday. I can’t
wait to see my Mom and Dad. Thanks to you
and your prayers, I’ll see them soon.
Ahora su bebé espiritual esta terminando de
desarrollarse y se concentra en ganar peso; puede hacer sentir a su
madre incomoda con su tamaño. Necesitará algunas capas de grasa
que le ayudará a mantener una temperatura adecuada después de su
nacimiento. Desde hace algunas semanas reconoce la voz de su
madre. En un corto tiempo, su bebé espiritual nacerá. La madre de
su bebé espiritual apreciará las oraciones que usted ha hecho por
ella y el bebé durante su embarazo. No ha sido fácil, pero sus ora-
ciones le han dado la gracia que necesitaba, para traer a su bebé a
término.
REFLECTION FROM FATHER RAMIRO
What a joy it is for us to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
The true light that enlightens the world is not the sun but Je-
sus. His resurrection has scattered the darkness and brought
us the true light. Easter is a great mystery. How do we look at
the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus?
“Years ago, Larry, an old municipal lamplighter, engaged in
putting out his lights one by one, was met by a reporter who
asked him if he ever grew tired of his work in the cold dark
night. “Never am I cheerless,” said the old man, “for there is
always a light ahead of me to lead me on.” “But what do you
have to cheer up when you have put out the last light?” asked
the news writer. “Then comes the dawn,” said Larry, the
lamplighter.
A man of the world might have asked Jesus the same ques-
tion. One light after another did he put out – the lamp of pop-
ular acclaim, the lamp of patriotic approval, the lamp of ec-
clesiastical conformity – all for the sake of God's love which
burned in his heart and showed him a better way. At last
even the light of his life was to flicker out on the hill called
Calvary. What then? We hear his voice, “Into Thy hands I
commend my spirit,” and then the dawn came. And that is the
Lord Jesus' Resurrection.”
The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the basis of our
Christian faith; Therefore, Easter Sunday highlights not only
our faith in the Resurrection, but we are also called to joyful-
ly proclaim and witness our faith in the Risen Lord among
us. Proclamation and witness are the two central themes run-
ning through today's Scripture Readings. “You are witnesses
to my resurrection,”
