Thought of the Day April 4, 2018 Alleluia
"O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages." (St. John Chrysostom, Easter Homily) What does Christ’s resurrection mean to you? The forgiveness of sin and a new beginning? A share in God’s own divine life as sons and daughters? The conviction that death is a moment, a bling of an eye between this temporal life and eternal life? The anticipation of my own body being resurrected and renewed like Jesus’ on the last day? That Alleluia is not just a word but a way of life? Thank you, Jesus, for you resurrection!!
