Easter

Hello All!

I hope that you have all been well; it has been some time since my last blog.  Are you enjoying in the splendor of the Easter Season as much as I am?  The forty days of the Lenten season are over and now we will rejoice in the sixty days of Easter.  I for one am glad that Easter has come; this will be a great Easter season where we can rejoice in the Lord.  I plan on taking the occasion to replenish my faith and come closer to the Lord. 

This is a thought from americancatholic.com:  Take your time today. Pray and give thanks and adore the risen Christ, alive with His divinity but above all in His humanity, in His Body and Blood in the Eucharist, alive in the eyes of charity in all who suffer. Say it over and over to yourself. Christ is risen. He is truly risen.

It is important that we think of what we went through during lent, and that will make the splendors of Easter even sweeter.  Here at ODU we will be celebrating our Easter Mass this Sunday.  We will also be bringing our elect though RCIA into the Catholic Church.  It has been amazing to see the journey that our elect have taken these past few months.  It is truly inspiring, especially for me who was raised Catholic, to see how strong their faith and trust in the Lord is.  I have really seen the power of the Lord in these people and it makes me want to strengthen my own faith.  It is important that we don’t get caught up in our daily lives, and that we remember the sacrifice the Christ made for us.

I pray that you are all well,

Jeremiah
