Season 1, Episode 15.  During this Easter Season - we have 50 days to deepen the mystery of Christ's Spirit dwelling within us.  We've been gifted with the three theological gifts of faith, hope, and love.  So Easter is using our gifts to deepen the awareness of the Spirit's presence within our lives.

Season 1.  Episode 14.  We rejoice that that Jesus is risen and is with each of us -  we are not alone.  Christ is our loving Savior and we are his beloved disciples.  We are called to proclaim that Jesus is present and share with one another the awakening of God's and Mother Mary's presence in our lives.  Jesus Christ is Risen today!  Alleluia! 

Season 1, Episode 13.  The Lord is my light and my salvation.  This week we should spend time in prayer to reflect how much God loves us.  Easter is a return to our baptism, and Lent is a preparation for that return.  We need to rediscover this divine life, but because of sin we are distracted from following Jesus.

Season 1, Episode 12.  Peace be with you.  Please know that the priests and brothers of the St. Anthony Catholic Community always remember you in Mass and pray for your health and protection.  St. Anthony parish has such a deep and rich history of ministry to the sick, we’ve had St. Damien of Moloka’i and St. Marianne of Moloka’i that were present in our parish.  These saints have dedicated their lives to the service of those who have had infectious diseases.  They were confident of God’s power to save.  Let us not be afraid, rather let us be reminded to deepen our trust and faith in God’s power to save.
