Imagine the delight of Mary and the other women as they raced to tell the news! Then Peter did the same and was also amazed, the unbelievable appeared to have happened. Let us savor this along with all of the meaning this gave to the other scriptures in the Old Testament, Christ was among us, risen, our King, Our Lord. Imagine what happened in your life when you discovered “your empty tomb”, that insight with faith that Jesus was risen, and He was inside you; available at all times; with unlimited, unconditional love for you. He had given everything of His humanity, and now made it clear he loves you divinely.

REFLECTION ON POPE FRANCIS’S FIRST ADDRESS TO THE WORLD

March 14, 2013 / Michael J. Cunningham / Leave a comment

Pope Francis reminds us that he is our servant asking for our prayers, in silence before he proffers the Papal blessing on the crowds and millions watching him. He takes the simplicity of the St. Francis of Assisi and in a few moments reminds the world of our mission in the Church.
It is a day to be proud to be a Catholic and one where soon, we will be reminded again of the important of a life of simplicity, of service and of dedication to God in everyday life. Perhaps we can look forward to others noticing once again that through these good works what it really means to be a Catholic.
