Happy Easter!
|
|
TODAY we share with you quotations from an Easter homily by St.
Josemaria Escriva, “Christ’s presence in Christians,” that
explain why today’s commemoration of the Resurrection of Christ is
the greatest of all Christian festivals:
“‘Christ is alive.’ This is the great
truth which fills our faith with meaning. Jesus, who died on the
cross, has risen. He has triumphed over death; He has overcome
sorrow, anguish and the power of darkness. ‘Do not be terrified’
was how the angels greeted the women who came to the tomb. ‘Do not
be terrified. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was
crucified. He has risen; He is not here. (Mark 16:6)’ ‘This
is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in
it. (Psalms 117:24).’

|
|
The growth figures do not matter much. Whether it is at a high of seven percent or a
moderate growth level of five percent, still the sad fact of our
economic life remains this: a jobless, mirthless growth.

When people go hungry
|
|
WHEN I dropped in last week at the office of a townmate who is one
of the top executives of Globe Telecom, I asked him why, even on

someone, you suddenly find your cell phone unable to transmit your
text messages, apparently dead.
