Quote for the day:
"God has created me to do him some definite service; he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission - I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I have a part in a great work; I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons."

He is Risen - He is Risen Indeed!
We've resurrected the Alleluia, packed away the purple and flooded the house with light! Exult - Rejoice - Happy Easter!
If Lent was a time for nurturing our soil and waiting for the delicate seedlings to emerge, carefully thinning them and pulling weeds, Easter is a time to rejoice in the growing leaves and opening blooms! It is a perfect time to go on a nature walk looking for buds and other signs of new life.
What's growing in your garden or neighborhood?
During the Easter season, Catholics throughout the world pray the Regina Coeli in place of the Angelus. This is a lovely tradition to incorporate into one's prayer life:
Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia. / For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia.
Has risen, as he said, alleluia. / Pray for us to God, alleluia.
Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia. / For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
Let us pray. O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
