State Chaplain's Easter Message

EASTER MESSAGE 2019

The three holiest and most important days for Catholics is called the Easter Triduum it begins at sunset on Holy Thursday and culminates with the Easter Vigil. The cross of JESUS CHRIST is central to this three day celebration:

THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST

The cross is the hope of Christians

The cross is the resurrection of the dead

The cross is the way of the lost

The cross is the savior of the lost

The cross is the staff of the lame

The cross is the guide of the blind

The cross is the strength of the weak

The cross is the doctor of the sick

The cross is the focus of the priests

The cross is the hope of the hopeless

The cross is the freedom of the slaves

The cross is the power of the kings

The cross is the water of the seeds

The cross is the consolation of the grieving

The cross is the source of those who seek water

The cross is the cloth of the naked.

We thank you, God our Father for the CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST.

May you and your families have a BLESSED, PEACEFUL and JOYFUL EASTER, 2019.
