Easter Sunday 2014

Let us all be happy today and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. 
It's Easter Sunday and new life begins today. 

The Fulfillment of Our Faith:

Easter is a day of celebration because it represents the fulfillment of our faith as Christians. St. Paul wrote that, unless Christ rose from the dead, our faith is in vain (1 Corinthians 15:17). Through his death, Christ saved mankind from bondage to sin, and He destroyed the hold that death has on all of us; but it is His Resurrection that gives us the promise of new life, both in this world and the next.

The Coming of the Kingdom:

That new life began on Easter Sunday. In the Our Father we pray that "Thy Kingdom come, on earth as it is in Heaven." And Christ told His disciples that some of them would not die until they saw the Kingdom of God "coming in power" (Mark 9:1). The early Christian Fathers saw Easter as the fulfillment of that promise. With the resurrection of Christ, God's Kingdom is established on earth, in the form of the Church.

This Easter Sunday 2014, me and my daughter was not able to attend the Holy Mass at the Peñaranda Park. Sadly we can't witness the "Salubong" or (Saklot in Bikol). 

The said ceremony usually starts with a procession, followed by cute little angels singing the Queen of Heaven song (Regina Coeli), and ends up where one angel is brought down from the upper deck of a tower going down to get the veil of the Sorrowful Mother, and then Mama Mary encounters her risen son Jesus Christ.
