More than two thousand years have gone by since the most heroic and most challenging feat was accomplished by a Man who literally laid down His life for His friends. His life mission was to die for all mankind...men and women of good will and bad will. His thirty three years of giving to others and of serving others with unconditional love has yet to be achieved or equally matched by any other human person. His influence continues today because He walked His talk by his exemplary example. His message, "Love one another as I have loved you." His message of hope, "I will be with you always until the end of the world." Even when He was dying on a criminal cross, He forgave His persecutors and His friends who abandoned Him. One of His last utterances was, "Father, into your hands I commend my Spirit." The honor guard who stood at the foot of His torture tree were the women....His mother, His converts, His true followers...and one young man who was commissioned to care for His mother.
As He had promised, He arose on the third day from the tomb where He was buried. We became the resurrected followers with Him. This God-Man, Jesus Christ, brought TRUE PEACE to a world in conflict and turmoil. He is truly the Way, the Truth, and the Life for all followers.
His Mystical Body...His Church on Earth...proclaim Him as their Savior and their Lord. When He appeared to His followers after His resurrection from the dead, He always started with, "Peace be with you." His Ladder of Achievement was completed because He Did It! He accomplished His mission and He continues His mission through His followers all over the world. The marks of His Church are: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. E pluribus unum...with many other followers were are One with the visible Head of His Church...The Pope!.... The Founder, Jesus Christ, is Holy!... His Spirit-filled Mystical Body is universal...His delegated and commissioned Apostolic Leaders and followers continue to the work on earth. His Kingdom will never end!
We are an "Alleluia People." Every day throughout the world, free people gather together to receive Him in the Eucharist...a Thanksgiving everyday..."Do this in remembrance of Me."
May Easter 2008 be a fitting memorial of the Ultimate Achievement Ladder Success that was accomplished more than 2000 years ago by a God-Man who really cared about His people!

Jesus Christ is the Reason for the Season. For many who have yet to accept Him as their Savior and Lord, we pray that some day that these non-believers will realize what they are missing in their lives. The world, the flesh, and the devil are no comparison to the Way, the Truth, and the Life that Jesus Christ offers persons every day. Being open to His will and to His way, will effectively prepare God's people for eternity.
