"He is not here-He is Risen! Alleluia!!"
A blessed Easter season to all! What a wonderful gift the Easter season is; seven weeks to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ!
During this season we will hear many stories from Holy Scripture about the growth of the Church; Mary Magdalen (the ‘apostle to the apostles’) encountering our risen Lord and instructed by Him to go and tell the others; Peter and John going to the tomb and finding it empty! Jesus continues to tell all Christians/Cursillistas to do the same - joyfully proclaim to others the Good News that Jesus Christ is risen and has saved us!
For 40 days after His resurrection, Jesus continued to appear to His disciples and to others, so that the reality of His resurrection was made known. He also sent His Holy Spirit to inspire the apostles and others to continue His mission and to strengthen them to proclaim this wonderful news!! We invoke the Holy Spirit constantly as Cursillistas to fill our hearts and minds with His love so that He can renew the face of the earth.
During the upcoming Eucharistic Pilgrimage throughout the state of NH, beginning on May 18th, let us all remember that we can truly recognize Jesus in the breaking of the bread and sharing of the cup, just as the disciples at Emmaus did. Let us consecrate ourselves to be more pious, studious, and active in our knowledge of/and love of God and neighbor. Perhaps, even make the weekly commitment to attend Eucharistic Adoration in quiet contemplation of our Lord’s presence. That one-on-one time can really be a “close encounter of the divine kind.” 😊
May the Easter season be a blessed and joyful one for all of you and your families. As we hear at the end of Mass, “Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.”
Please continue to pray for the growth of NH Cursillo and for Cursillo around the world.
