“The resurrection of Christ is what sets us apart,<br />

what makes us the Church. Without the pain and<br />

suffering Jesus went through, and then the joy of His<br />

Resurrection, we wouldn’t have the relationship with<br />

God, or the opportunity for eternal life.”<br />

Voice of the people<br />

”<br />

“Jesus Christ’s Resurrection is a real source of joy<br />

and hope for He has conquered death, sin and<br />

darkness. It is the triumph of life in the midst of<br />

violence and death. His resurrection brings lively<br />

hope to my spiritual journey as a Christian and<br />

priest.”<br />

How important is the joy of <strong>Easter</strong> and the<br />

“<strong>Easter</strong> pushes me, through my actions and words,<br />

to proclaim Alleluia and the Good News of Our Lord<br />

and His Resurrection to all who don’t know about it,<br />

driven by the graces and the Spirit attained through<br />

the Sacraments He provides.”<br />
