Celebrating the Resurrection!
Happy Easter, my fellow Christians! Isn't it amazing that Our Lord loves us to suffer and die FOR US, and then He overcame death FOR US!
Think about it. Nothing that He did during His life, and certainly not during His Passion and Death, was for Himself. First and foremost, Jesus' words and actions were for the greater glory of the Father. Secondly, everything He said and did, up to and including the Resurrection, was intended to grant us access to eternal life with the Father. He wanted (and wants) us to share what He has had for all eternity.
So, during this Octave of Easter and the blessed Easter season, let us remember to be eternally grateful that death has been overcome for us. That, of course, is why we celebrate!
To further illustrate my point, check out Pope Benedict's Easter Message.
Pray that the Resurrected Christ will pour out His eternal Love upon this world and all who dwell in it.
God Bless.
