Feast of the Resurrection

Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.




Matthew 28:1-10

After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, "He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.' This is my message for you."
So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

Suddenly Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

Happy Easter to you, Padre, and to the lovely Mona (and to all of the gang we see at PMDP)

¡Feliz Pascua, Padre Mickey y la Bella Mona!

Excuse me, but you stole my picture. But that's OK. Let's not get into a fracas about it, please. It's Easter.

I love you, Grandmère Mimi, but I hadn´t seen your post until this afternoon, and I posted mine at 5:12 am. EST. Yes, you were first, but I had no idea that you had used this picture.

Perhaps we should chalk it up to Great Minds Think Alike and leave it at that!

¡Feliz Pascua, Abuelita!

Padre stole the picture and but I simply believe that it was resurrected and turned up here, a Galilee of sorts in the blogworld.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

He is Risen! Alleluia, alleluia!

All the joys of Easter to one and all!

I See You!
