It has been two weeks since we celebrated the glory and the triumph of the Resurrection of Christ. It is undeniable that Easter brings a newness to our lives, a renewal, and a vitality that may have been lacking as we continue to struggle with so many challenges. But now is the test. We must allow the momentum and the joy of the Easter season to continue and help us grow as people of faith. Be on guard against any temptations or distractions that could take us off course.  Instead, may we go forward with the confidence that Jesus is alive and with us, assured in the firm belief that we share in his victory over sin, suffering and death. And know, without hesitation or doubt, that in him alone we find the peace for which we long.
