Today we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. This profound God moment has changed the world in ways we are continuing to discover. We lift up in our world faith, fidelity, truth, forgiveness, mercy, and, above all, love. This love surpasses all our attempts to redefine the source of all love, diminishing what has been made perfect in Jesus Christ. In celebration of Easter, we gather to sing our own Alleluia and to hear the movement of God that has brought us to this point. We anticipate in the next 50 days a joy and renewal of our faith in God. God bless all of you and may the Lord of Life surround you every moment, keeping you safe from harm. God bless.
