April, 23, 2000 EASTER SUNDAY First Reading: Colossians 3:1 - 4 (English):
In this reading, St. Paul asks us to seek things that are above and where Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father. When Christ is revealed we are also revealed with him in glory.Second Reading: Corinthians 1:15 - 12 - 26 (Lebanese):
St. Paul explains that the resurrection of Jesus is invalid if we think that there is no resurrection of the dead. Jesus is risen. He is the one who gives life.Gospel: Matthew, 28: 1 - 10 (English & Lebanese):
The Resurrection of Jesus is our biggest Celebration. It is the base of our faith. By his Resurrection, Jesus conquers the death and starts a new covenant, the covenant of Jesus, Son of God, Jesus the Lord, the one who is quiet in front of Pilate. His silence was stronger than words.Last Week's Collection
