A Very Special Easter . . .
A Testimony from one of Trailblazers Pilgrims
Volume 2 Issue 7 April 2007
Fellow Trailblazers,
First I want to apologize for being unable to send out any issues of
the Compass for the past few weeks. Thankfully I am now feeling much
better and I am glad to be able to work on the Compass again!!
This past Easter was perhaps one of the most memorable yet. I attended
the Easter Vigil Mass at my parish, Sts. Cyril and Methodius, with my
family and was struck anew by the beauty of the liturgy. Our parish
welcome several new members into the church one of them a friend of my
family. He was baptized, confirmed and received his first communion
during the Easter Vigil Mass, which happened to fall on his birthday.
After his baptism there was such a glow of happiness on his face and he
could not stop grinning. When it came time to light the candles handed
out at the beginning of the mass, he went around the church, offering
his baptism candle for other people to light their candles off of. He
reflected such happiness that infected everyone around him.
Attending the most beautiful Easter Vigil Mass that I have ever
seen, reminded me of what a special season Easter is. It is when we are
all of us reborn in Christ's resurrection. After forty days of fasting
and then experiencing the sorrow of Christ's Passion during Holy Week,
the whole Church rejoices in the risen Lord. Let us not forget that the
Easter season is a reminder to us of Christ's deep love for us as well
as His forgiveness.
Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
