Reflection
“I was dead and now I am to live for ever.”
This exultant Easter message is proclaimed on the Lord’s day, our Sunday. The book of Revelation describes a remarkable vision—of someone invested by God as judge of the world, someone who is both king and priest. It is the same glorified Jesus who, as the gospel recounts, appeared to the disciples on Easter evening to bring them the joy of his presence and the peace of forgiveness. At that time they were given the responsibility of witnessing to Jesus’ victory over sin and death. They were empowered to hand on their Lord’s forgiveness of sins to the countless generations after them who would also find their hope and joy in the living Christ. The reading from Acts shows the steady growth of the young Church as the words and deeds of the faithful attract others. The work of the risen Lord is underway; we are to continue it. Every Sunday we believers gather before God in worship to deepen our vision and gain new purpose and strength for carrying on Christ’s work of reconciliation.
(Sunday Mass Book)

SHARELIFE’S 2019 CAMPAIGN…
Living the Gospel by welcoming newcomers to Canada Jane endured years of domestic abuse while living in Egypt. Fearing her husband would abuse their children, she successfully applied for refugee status in Canada. Jane arrived in Toronto, not knowing the language, what to do or who could help. Fortunately, she met an Arabic speaker who told her about Catholic Crosscultural Services (CCS). CCS helped her navigate the immigration process and access the resources she needed. “CCS saved my life,” Jane says. “Today I have money of my own, an apartment, and my children are finally safe and happy.”
