EASTER SUNDAY - Do you look Redeemed?

Last evening Fr. Thomas Cardone peached on the theme: Do we love our Real Life? Not our defense mechanisms, masks, games, nor wanna-be's. No! But do you love your real life?  Because Christ asks us to love our real life which is hidden in God.
At the start of the Vigil the Brothers gathered outside at the Mohawk Circle. Bro. Thomas, Bro. Daniel, Bro. Kenneth, Bro. Dermot, Bro. Thierry, Bro. Nestor, Bro. Gary and Bro. Nigel wait before the bkessing of the new fire. Our homily theme continued to ask us questions, Do you look redeemed? Do you look joyful? Are you a witness to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?
Here Fr. Thomas Cardone, Bro. David Bruner, Fr. Francis Keenan and Fr. Philip Eichner prepare the Candle. Christ yesterday and today, the beginning and the end, Alpha and Oemga, all time belongs to Him, and all the ages, to Him be glory and power, through every age for ever. Amen.  As Christians and consecareted men, in every action and in every moment of our lives, we are called to say to ourselves:  "I believe in the Resurrection that will save and restore all things to Himself."
