E-xult, sing and shout
A-lleluia!

T-ime has come to bring; 
E-verlasting

It is not an exaggeration why the whole Church- both in heaven and on earth - has to celebrate this season in 50 days (from this day on to Pentecost Sunday), to think that we had accompanied the suffering Jesus in His journey to Calvary in only 40 days with our commitment of fasting, abstinence, almsgiving and forgiveness: if we did?
 
The Church wants to remind, renew, reinvigorate, refresh and reasEASTER SMILEsure us that our Christian life is deeply rooted in the Joy of the Resurrection. Jesus who bore all our sins and iniquities has brought our humanity to experience divinity; rising from the grave with the sign of His sufferings. He conquered for us the sting of death from sin and restored us the divine life of Grace – the life of God Himself.
 
Is it not a great reason for us to boldly proclaim the redemption we have in Christ? Do we have to conceal the gratitude that bursts in our hearts or instead start playing the hymn of love? Let our voice and our life my brethren, manifest the glory of God. St. Augustine, in fact says: ”The greatest deed a man can do is to praise the Lord.”
 
So, if trials tear you, temptations assail you, the world crushes you, your faith tested, your hope challenged, your love threatened... STOP, LOOK, LISTEN. and SMILE.
 
By yourself say: THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!
 
HAPPY EASTER! SMILE.
