Alleluia! Christ Jesus is Risen!


from Deacon Tom and Mary Jane Fox

Blessed Easter!

Thousands of people today have heard these words proclaimed from the Gospel of John: "Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed."

May you experience the peace and joy of Jesus, who died and suffered for us and rose from the dead.

The Church celebrates the Easter Season for 50 days; what a glorious Liturgical Season to "see and believe" and to celebrate the Resurrection and new life in Christ! Let us live this Easter Season in hope and in prayer for those who have not yet encountered the Risen Lord!

This photo is of the Tomb of our Lord. The Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem is built over the Tomb & Calvary. Notice the marble step as you enter - it is so worn by the millions of pilgrims who have entered and venerated the Tomb of our Lord! Our pilgrim groups have Mass in the Tomb when we lead pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Join us on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land October 27th, 2010. Come and See! Come and venerate the Tomb of our Lord, and see where He lived, taught, healed and where the Church began!
