Pastor’s Desk
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL FAMILIES OF ST. BONIFACE PARISH
What is the significance of the resurrection for the Christians?
1. The resurrection of Jesus is the source of our Christian faith: this is the greatest the miracle and
the proof that Jesus is God. That’s why St. Paul writes, “If Christ has not been raised from death, our
preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain (1Cor 15:14). In fact, all the basic doctrines of Christianity
are based on the truth of the resurrection. The mystery of our faith we proclaim in every mass is that
“Christ has died Christ has risen, Christ will come again.”
2. Easter guarantees our own resurrection: J esus assur ed Mar tha in the tomb of Lazar us, “I am
the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even though he dies, will live” (Jn 11:25). By virtue of the Holy Spirit, our Christian life is already a participation in the death and resurrection of Christ
beginning with our baptism and also we believe that Jesus will raise us up on the last day. Therefore,
we must live a meaningful life and an exemplary Christian life in order to be able to experience his reward of resurrection in heaven.
3. Easter is the feast of hope and encouragement: the celebr ation of Easter r eminds us that all our
sufferings, sorrows, pain, and tears, are not permanent but temporary. It reminds us the fact that our life
is worth living. It teaches us a great lesson of hope that all those fight and defend just causes and values, undoubtedly will be justified and be rewarded by God. That’s why, St. Paul asks a question, “O
death, where is your victory?” (1 Cor15:55). We believe that the risen Jesus gives us strength to fight
our personal temptations and social injustices. Just as Jesus overcame all his sufferings, death, and rose
as the winner of eternal life, so also, definitively will help us to overcome our own sufferings and to
share his glorious victory of his resurrection.
We must be a “resurrection people”: This means that, we are not supposed to lie buried in the
tomb of our sins, bad habits, dangerous addictions, despair, discouragement, doubt, and death.
Instead, we are expected to live a joyful and peaceful life in risen Jesus as the apostles constantly experiencing the risen Lord in all the events of their life.
We must be the instruments of the peace of risen Christ: in all his appar itions after the r esur rection Jesus made an unforgettable greeting to his disciples, “Peace be with you.” We, the disciples of Christ, are expected to share his peace with one another in order to be able to overcome our daily sufferings and tensions and to enjoy every day the blessings of the risen Jesus.
May the risen Jesus bless you all!
