I Am The Resurrection And The Life

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"
St. John's Gospel 11:25-26


Resurrection Pietro Perugino 1499

Alleluia, He is risen!

The Reality Of The Holy Eucharist And Sanctifying Grace

 Michael Voris:
"He who eats my flesh abides in Me, and I will raise Him up on the Last day" (John 6:54). Holy Thursday is the means to Easter Sunday. We just have to spend this life going through Good Friday first. 
This is why Catholics must always advance the truth of the Holy Catholic Faith and resist all attempts to weaken it.
A Holy and Happy Easter to each of you and your friends and family and loved ones.

He Is Not Here, For He Is Risen

Resurrection of Christ: Raffaelino del Garbo, 1510


Matthew 28
The Resurrection

(Psalm 16:1-11; Psalm 49:1-20; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-9)

1 AND in the end of the Sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre. 2 And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. 3 And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as snow. 4 And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid. 7 And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen: and behold he will go before you into Galilee; there you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you.

8 And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples. 9 And behold Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him. 10 Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me.

The Report of the Guards

11 Who when they were departed, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that had been done. 12 And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers, 13 Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep. 14 And if the governor shall hear this, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15 So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day.

The Great Commission

(Mark 16:14-18)

16 And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And seeing them they adored: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. 19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

Artificial Contraception Is Like The Kiss of Judas

The kiss of Judas was a lie in the same way that contraception is a lie.

Says who?

Says this holy priest.

More On Shroud of Turin Mystery

My faith in Christ is not based on whether this shroud is the authentic burial cloth of Christ. My faith in Christ is based on His resurrection from the dead. However, the more I hear about the Shroud of Turin, the more I marvel because apparently all our tremendous technology to date cannot refute the possibility of its authenticity. Doesn't that make a loud statement?

Muslims Slaughter 50 Christians on Easter Sunday

A man playing the role of Jesus Christ is escorted by guards during a ritual procession re-enacting the death of Christ in Lagos while in Jos more than 50 have been killed after officials pleaded for peace over the easter weekend (Reuters)
This is so shocking. While we here in the West enjoy our peace and tranquility on Easter Sunday, our fellow Christians in other lands, especially Muslim lands, are being butchered. Truly it makes me want to march over to the local Muslim community and demand an answer to the question: "Why are your people killing my people?"

It's Easter so Christians must fear jihad. 50 are dead in Nigeria. When these news stories are written by Muslims the reportage is sanitized and compromised. In this article, the slaughter and ongoing genocide of Christians by Muslims is described as "unrest between Christians and Muslims." Jihad aided and abetted by stealth jihad.

Good Friday Walk and Vigil Health Sciences Centre St. John’s NL



The annual Good Friday pro-life vigil will be held in the St. John's Health Sciences Centre's west parking lot from 9:30-10:30 a.m.

From a report by CBC covering last year’s event:


Scores took part in an annual pro-life demonstration at a St. John's hospital Friday, although they were met with a loud protest from pro-choice advocates.

The annual Good Friday march at the Health Sciences Centre has been held for decades, and this year well over 100 people, most of them affiliated with the Roman Catholic and other churches.

"There are so many things wrong with abortion," said participant Jim Hegarty, who said he was not bothered by the presence of pro-choice demonstrators.


See you there.


Novena of the Week: The Divine Mercy Novena


During Holy Week, there is really only one choice for the Novena of the Week: the Divine Mercy Novena.

The Divine Mercy Novena began as a private devotion which Our Lord revealed to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska. Our Lord asked Saint Faustina to recite the novena starting on Good Friday and ending on Divine Mercy Sunday, the Octave of Easter (the Sunday after Easter Sunday).

Learn more about the Divine Mercy Novena, including how to get a daily reminder email to help you pray the novena.
