Dear Parent/Guardian,

          The Lord has been raised! It is true!

                                 Luke 24:35

We are an Easter People, people of the Risen Lord! What does it mean to be Easter people? Certainly it means we are people of faith. We believe all the truths of our Creed. We believe that if we die with the Lord, we shall rise with the Lord. We believe that we shall overcome our personal Good Fridays to rise to Easter joy. We believe that if we place our crosses in the

Lord, he will give us the grace to rise above them.

The difference between those who saw the risen Lord and those who did not see Him was faith. Mary Magdalene, Mary, and the Apostles saw the Lord because they believed. May Easter be a time for us to strengthen our faith and believe in the Lord so that we may see HIM in our family, our co-workers, and our community.
