What Difference Does Easter Make in the Life of A Christian?

Fr. James Martin summed it up perfectly in his recent article for the Wall Street Journal ......

"What difference does Easter make in the life of the Christian? The message of Easter is, all at once, easy to understand, radical, subversive and life-changing. Easter means that nothing is impossible with God. Moreover, that life triumphs over death, Love triumphs over hatred. Hope triumphs over despair. And that suffering is not the last word." (WSJ article, Fr. James Martin, Easter 2016)

I say AMEN to all of that!!

Importance of Stories

"To Survive You Must Tell Stories"
(Umberto Eco)

Jesus told stories and parables and related to the people of his time with earthiness, truth and compassion.
