This is what John Stott, a Christian commentator wrote about Jesus and us, “We live and die; Christ died and lived.” This quote is interesting because it sums up the whole story of East-er. It is a story about life and death, and we love to share our personal testimonies with others. This is one of the benefits of social media compared to the traditional system of information dissemination. While television, newspaper, etc. depend on censored pattered, social media is a free-to-air kind of system whereby anyone can air their stories uncensored. The danger of both the traditional mainstream media and social media is that people can air the wrong information or take a different persona at the other end. Sharing personal testimonies about everyday topics such as the weather, economy, science, poli-tics, or social life gives us control over what we want to pro-mote. People who use social media to inform, teach, and enter-tain bring joy to their followers by improving on their way of life. Two thousand years ago, the discussion on social media could have been about the resurrection of Jesus. He claimed to be God or equal to God, and he promised to destroy the temple in Jerusalem and rebuild it up in three days. The Jewish authori-ties sentenced him as a threat to their national life and so hand-ed him over to the Romans for punishment. He was crucified during the Jewish Passover celebration and hurriedly buried on the Sabbath. However, early on the first day of the week, when the women returned to embalm his body, they found the tomb empty. The resurrection, therefore, became a point of reference for these women who ran to the apostles and narrated their find-ing. The apostles hurried to the tomb and verified their story. They found the tomb exactly as the women described. Jesus was not in the tomb. He rose from the dead. He began to ap-pear to the apostles to prove that he was alive. The tomb could not hold for long. Those who crucified him and shamed him on the wood of the Cross then began to spread wrong infor-mation by saying that he was stolen by the apostles when the soldiers were asleep. To this day, many people wrongly be-lieve that Jesus was not crucified or raised from the death. In sharp contrast to that false believe, the core teaching of the Christian faith is centered on the resurrection of Jesus. Why should Christians today pay attention to what happened to this man? The resurrection is based on fact and testimony. If Jesus had not appeared to the women or to his apostles, then the Christian teaching would have no basis. But because of the appearances of Jesus, he proved to us why the tomb was emp-ty as found by the women and the apostles. The preaching of the early Church depended on dispelling the rumors about the resurrection of Jesus. Peter, the apostle be-came a promoter of the resurrection by preaching about him at all times. Listen to what he says, “You know what has hap-

pened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John has preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. . . They put him to death by hanging him on a tree. This man God raised on the third day and granted that he be visible, not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead.” Thus the apostles went about preaching the resurrection of Jesus because they saw him and ate with him and did not depend on rumors. Does the resurrection of Jesus have any effect on us? The an-swer is based on what Jesus said to the apostles. He command-ed them to go into the world and testify that he was live, and he will be the judge of both the living and the dead. In this way, every Christian inherits the mandate of preaching the resurrection of Jesus as a way of conversion to a good life. The distraction of liars still persists today but the saving power of Jesus overshows their unbelief. St. Paul persecuted believers in Jesus but on the way to Damascus he saw a vision of him. He saw Jesus and spoke with him leading to his conversion. Paul became an ardent preacher of the resurrection and be brought many people into the fold of Jesus. Today, the story of the resurrection has won the hearts of many people in the world. Those who believe in Jesus make up about 2.4 billion of the 7.4 billion of the world’s popula-tion. This is about 34% of the world’s population. The task falls on us to reach out to others and share our testimony of the living Jesus. Our evidence is the empty tomb which the wom-en witnessed and related the information to the apostles. To-day, we need Christians to share their testimonies with others about how God’s love has touched them through the resurrec-tion of Jesus. He loves us with an everlasting love and he al-lowed his Son to suffer humiliation for our sake in order to raise us up into his eternal Kingdom. We know that those alle-gations levelled against Jesus were made to stop his mission of saving us, but he went above by rising triumphant from the grave in order to give us eternal redemption.

Peter, Paul, and all the other apostles dedicated their lives to evangelization and died in the process but with one result. They transformed pain to gain, hatred to love, and ru-mors to testimonies so that every person can appreciate the ultimate act of sacrifice ever recorded on Calvary when Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead to give us hope. We believe that dead is process of entry into God’s eternal life and we preach it for the salvation of souls. For this reason, H.R.L. Sheppard wrote, “It was inevitable that Jesus Christ should be crucified. It was also inevitable that He should rise again.” Undeniably, he is alive and lives with God forever. What is your testimony about Jesus?

Keep praying!

It is our ushers' responsibility to keep the interior doors of the church-- the ones which separate the narthex from the nave (or the vestibule from the body of the church)-- closed at all times. Those doors provide a sound barrier between folks greeting one another as they enter and those who have already entered into prayer in our pews. The doors provide a physical barrier between the sacred space of the interior of the church and the secular space which is the whole world outside (the narthex being a transitional space). Last, they provide a security barrier, at least a min-imal amount of delay, between those inside and someone entering who may seek to do us harm. That moment of delay could give us an opportunity to stop someone with ill-intent before they reach our congregation. For this reason, the "Exit Only" doors which are located on either side of the nave will be kept locked during Masses which are in progress. (They will, however, be unlocked in between Masses.) Please help the ushers by never propping open any church door, especially the "Exit Only" doors and the interior narthex/nave doors. Please do your part to keep our doors closed, maintain-ing the integrity of our sacred space and the security of our congregants. Thank you!

Perpetual Adoration Needs:

THE GRACE OF THE IMAGE Scriptural Foundation. The great grace of the Image of Divine Mercy is rooted in a passage from the Gospel, a passage that describes the very first Easter Sunday, a passage that's read every year at Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday (the Second Sunday of Easter). Reflecting on this passage will help introduce us to the special grace of the Divine Mercy Image. Let's prayerfully read the passage now:

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you for-give the sins of any, they are forgiven” if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” (20:19-23).

In a certain sense, this scene is the Image of Divine Mercy. For just as Jesus suddenly appears here to the apostles who were filled with fear, shame, and sin, so also, in the Divine Mercy Image, he suddenly appears to each one of us in the midst of our own darkness. Just as Jesus here brings the apostles his peace, joy, and forgiveness, so also, in the Divine Mercy Image, Jesus brings us his saving grace. Finally, just as Jesus here breathes on the apostles and says to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit," so also, through the rays of the Divine Mercy Image, Jesus sends us the same gift of the Spirit when we respond with the prayer, “Jesus, I trust in you.” In a beautiful address to the women of St. Faustina’s own community, the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, St. John Paul II offers a commentary on the Image of Divine Mercy that reiterates some of the themes from the above Gospel Passage. He says:

Anyone can come [and] look at this image of the merciful Jesus, his heart radiating grace, and hear in the depths of his own soul what [St. Faustina heard: “Fear nothing. I am with you always” (Diary, n. 412). And if this person responds with a sincere heart: “Jesus, I trust in you!”, he will find com-fort in all his anxieties and fears. In this dialogue of abandonment, there is established between man and Christ a special bond that sets love free. And “there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” (1Jn 4:18).” ~~ from The Divine Mercy Image Explained by Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC
