On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark,
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we don’t know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter
and arrived at the tomb first;
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
and the cloth that had covered his head,
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in,
the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture
that he had to rise from the dead. – John 20: 1-9
Just a side note: Joe Biden’s egregious insult is designed to provoke us to hatred. Don’t let it. We do win in the end.

Just a side note: Joe Biden’s egregious insult is designed to provoke us to hatred.
My faith has grown stronger since my wife died last year. I can’t really explain it other than, through God’s grace, she didn’t have to suffer the agony of the worst aspects of Alzheimer’s, and for that I’m eternally grateful, but it’s more than that. My faith is going through a transition to the point that those around me are noticing it and commenting on it. The more I acknowledge God’s presence in my life, the greater that presence becomes, sort of like an engine that produces it’s own fuel. I’m still having trouble with the “love your enemy” thing, but I have pretty much cast hatred out of my heart. I find myself praying for those that I used to hate, so I guess that’s a step in the right direction.
Here’s a little something to lift your spirits on this glorious Easter morning.
He has risen!! Happy Easter to all.
Spook, So sorry for your loss.
The more I acknowledge God’s presence in my life, the greater that presence becomes…
When reflecting on the goodness of God, the growing realization of His immense eternal love can actually become overwhelming. The closer we come to our own day of reckoning, knowing our physical mortality, reflection on the glory of the next life dwells stronger for those who accept Jesus.
I’m still having trouble with the “love your enemy” thing…
I imagine we all do to some degree. Because we are all spirits with a body (as opposed to a body with a spirit), it becomes easier to understand, it is that spirit that God made in His image. When we see past the physical person and see the spirit within the individual, we begin to more fully understand and appreciate what God sees. It is His wish that we ALL reunited with Him.
Thanks for the kind words. It’s comforting, as we watch the world overwhelmed by evil that, as Mark says, we know how the story ends.
It’s just very hard sometimes to find that little spark of God buried in the mass of evil surrounding it
I certainly felt a surge of revived faith at Mass this morning; something that had bothered me for a long while was answered…that is, why are we still waiting? Then I realized during the homily which was, naturally, about God’s overwhelming love for us and it hit me: what Father does not want to have many children and watch them grow and see what they do? I had been thinking Man’s thoughts, taking no account of God’s. He is delighted with us – not our sins, of course, but the amazing things his children are doing with the gifts He has provided. Even my little books are something. It adds to the whole; it makes more than there was. We wait impatiently? Well, stop. It’ll come when it comes. Tomorrow or ten thousand years from now.
What an appropriate article for Easter Sunday.
He has risen.
Everyone has not given up as you can watch.

It is a new beginning, in my book, towards what the world requires before falling into the abyss.
I will make more sense one day soon but today is a glorious day.
Happy Easter all. He has Risen. We live in interesting times … Keep the Faith.
You can’t help but laugh after reading the opening segment in today’s Coffee & Covid.
Like all true humor, it relies on a hint of reality
I’ve come to realize that of the voices that resonate the most with me, like that of Dr. Robert Malone, the one I’ve come to respect the most is that of Tyler Durden, who writes on Zero Hedge. He’s a very interesting guy.
This is an example of his essay on stupidity:
This week, a new law went into effect in Scotland that would create a crime of “stirring up hatred” surrounding age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, among other things.
By that very logic (something the left was never accused of), wouldn’t all of the politicians who created the law as well as those who impose the law also be guilty of “stirring up hatred” by condemning very same people who state truths related to the subject matter? So now we live in a world where telling the truth is punishable by elitists wishing to push their evil on us, all based on…. feelings? When laws that use highly subjective inference, judges can then twist the law to mean anything they want. Which essentially means, we live in times driven by tyranny. Conquer and divide, the devil is hard at work. When so many are turning away from God, all that’s left for them is secular lies, which unfortunately, far too many people willingly swallow. No wonder why the academic world is being pushed into such horrific state.
