The Power of His
Resurrection!
by: Fr. Milad
As we walk with Jesus through his passion, death and
resurrection, it is a good time for us to immerse ourselves
in this sacred journey and deepen our commitment to
following the path of Jesus day by day. The scripture
story is not just about the journey of Jesus. It is about
our journey and how we live the message in our world
today. It is bringing hope, healing, and peace to a world
that is greatly in need of such gifts. The story of the
resurrection is not only about God's power in raising
Jesus from the dead, it is about our having access to
that same power at all times.
Easter invites us to look deep within our own lives, our
community life and our world. The promise that is
offered to us by Jesus is that everyone can have life
and have it in abundance. We know there are daunting
challenges. There are never-ending wars, failed relationships and political conflict. We see that our
world is moving away from the Lord Jesus. We must keep in mind that Jesus is at the door of our
hearts asking for admittance. We are called to live with a spirit filled with the power of His
resurrections. We have God's promise that we will never walk alone. We need to take time each day
to get in touch with the spirit within us, to draw on that power and to pray that the stones in our lives
will be rolled away. Are we ready to allow this to happen? Are we ready to allow Jesus to bring hope,
peace and justice to our lives? We are told by St. Paul that God has raised Jesus from the dead and
that he will also raise us up by the same spirit that dwells in us. This promise of life everlasting gives
us great hope. We will live a life that continues beyond the grave with our loving God forever.
Easter is a time to deepen our faith. Pope Benedict XVI has called us to live and renew our faith. He
said, “Faith must be lived in truth and justice honest and open dialog on an ecumenical level and
through works of justice and peace”. The Pope believes a renewal of faith would give new energy to
the whole Church and lead us out of the desert we are often in and toward a deeper friendship with
Christ who gives us fullness of life.
Through the power of the resurrection, a new light will shine in our minds and hearts, directing us
toward a new way of thinking and relating, of begin and doing and resolving problems in such a way
as to bring life to our wounded world. May the hope and energy of Easter fill our minds and hearts as
we welcome that life-giving presence of God who guides and sustains us every step of the way.
Happy Easter!

Leap of Faith
By Nebal Nemri
This Easter season, in an unprecedented move, our Pope
makes a courageous move, takes a leap of faith, and
decides to relinquish the papacy, making way for another
holy man to lead the Catholic Church. Many have
questioned his decision, assuming his resignation was
preceding some scandal soon to be exposed. To the faithful
catholic,his decision was a courageous move, crowned by
deep faith, embraced by genuine humility, authenticated by
God's given grace.
No leadership position was more powerful than his. He led
