NOTHING WILL EVER BE=THE SAME AGAIN

(LIGHT PIRCES THE DARKNESS)!

 

MARY Magdalen is STUNNED!=That Jesus is=NOT in the tomb=so they=Mary MAGDALEN=

And her friends=Go to tell the Disciples=Peter and John are  INCREDULOUS!=and

They RACE to the tomb too!=and Jesus is NOT THERE!=Jesus is RISEN!=Nothing CAN

EVER BE=THE SAME AGAIN!=EVERYTHING is now NEW and fresh!=”We are WITNESSES

Of everything=He DID in the Country=of the Jews=and in Jerusalem=They killed  him=

BY HANGING him=on a cross=But God RAISED him=from the dead=On the THIRD day=and

CAUSED him=to be seen”                                                                                                              ACTS 10:39-40

 

MANY of our VIGIL services=Are repeated yearly=But JESUS’ RESURRECTION of=

LIFE over death=is NEW AND EVERY  year==For GOD’S LIGHT does indeed=does indeed Penetrate

The darkness=and MAKE  EVERYTHING NEW AGAIN!==and fresh!

“He put a NEW SONG=In my mouth=a hymn of praise to our God=Many will see=and fear the

Lord=and PUT their trust in him”                                                                                                           Psalm 40:3

“See I will create=NEW HEAVENS and a NEW earth=The former things=Will not be remembered=

Nor will they come to mind”                                                                                                                         Isaiah 65:17

“ I will give you=A NEW HEART=and put a NEW SPIRIT in you=I will remove from you=Your

Heart of stone=and give you a HEART of flesh”                                                                             Ezekiel 36:26

NOTHING WILL EVER BE=THE SAME AGAIN!=For the LIGHT of Jesus’ love=PIERCES

The darkness of the night!

 

AT THE EASTER VIGIL=We still see the PIERCING LIGHT=in the darkness=Of the night=Just the

SAME WAY=Jesus’ VICTORY of LIFE AND LOVE=Penetrate the world=We break out=INTO

Songs of Praise=The WORDS of=OUR LIVING GOD=Announce our redemption=Our BAPTISM

VOWS=are NEW once again=and we see THE RISEN LORD=In the BODY and blood of the

EUCHARIST!=Of Jesus Christ=The SPIRIT of GOD’S LOVE=is ALIVE in Jesus!=EVERYTHING is

BRAND NEW==Nothing will ever=BE THE SAME AGAIN!=LIGHT PIERCES THE DARKNESS=and we

ARE RENEWED!

“……..Who satisfies your desires=with good things=So that your youth=IS RENEWED=Like the

Eagle’s”                                                                                                                                                                      Psalm 103:5

Are BEING RENEWED DAY BT DAY”                                                                                                2 Corinthians 4:16

 

WE BECOME CHRISTIANS=Over and over and OVER again=NOT because we GET IT RIGHT=

The first time=Or even the second=But because THE RIVER AND TREE OF LIFE=Through Christ’s

RESURRECTION=and the LOVE of the Holy Father God=Require us=To bring LIFE and=

FRESHNESS=to ALL we touch=For after Jesus’ Resurrection=For the LOVE OF GOD=PIERCES the darkness in us=NOTHING  IS=EVER THE SAME AGAIN!

“Thes things happened=so that the SCRIPTURES=would be fulfilled=’NOT one   of his bones=

Will be broken’=and as ANOTHER Scripture says=’They will look on=THE ONE THEY

PIERCED’”                                                                                                                                                            John 19:36-37

 

My dear SISTERS AND BROTHERS=In Christ=After the Resurrection of Jesus=We are BRAND

NEW!=NOTHING WILL EVER BE=THE SAME AGAIN!

In Jesus’ name=and IN the name=Of OUR EVER LIVING=Ever loving SON=as well as THE=

HOLY FATHER OF GOD!
