Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord - April 20, 2025
On Easter Sunday, we hear some of Jesus' earliest disciples testify to the unprecedented event they had witnessed. Saint Peter addresses the people, teaching them about Jesus and how God raised him from h dead. Saint Paul preaches about the effect Christ's resurrection has had on his life. In the Gospel, Saint Mary Magdalene the first to see the empty tomb, frantically announces the news to two of Jesus' closest disciples. None of his disciples yet understood that Jesus ha to rise from the dead, but the disciple whom Jesus loved believed at once. et us consider how we ourselves testify to the Resurrection
HAPPY EASTER
In his death, we die to sin; in his resurrection, we are raised to new life in God; and in his ascension, we are called to participate in the enthronement of our Savior at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. In all of this, our Savior invites us saying: Take up your cross and follow me, if you want to be my disciple. Take up your cross, and let not its weight fill your weak spirit with alarm. My strength, he assures us will bear our spirit up.
For the past forty days we have followed our Savio in the spirit of Lent to endure his passion and death. This Sunday we rejoice in the Lord because he has conquered death. His resurrection assures us that we who are buried with him by baptism will rise with him in glory. Let us rejoice and be glad, for if Christ had not risen from the dead, as Paul says, our faith would have been in vain. Thank God, it is not

Charles Borromeo, Michael the Archangel and Barbara Churches, I wish all of you and those dear t you, as well as the many others who worship with us in our Churches, a happy Easter celebration. May God who in his infinite goodness sent his Son to redeem us, bless you and you families as you gather to celebrate the Easter joy. Fr. Oliver Nwachukwu, Ph. D.
