THIS THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER UNDERSCORES CONVERSION INVOLVES WITNESSING............

Our Sunday Scriptures as we begin the third week of this Paschal Season of the New and Risen Life of Jesus The Christ, is a call to all who hear the message of God's Word as preached by the Apostles in today's Readings and embrace Repentance and Conversion. The Paschal Mystery of Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection, has conquered humankind's enslavement to sin and empowers us with God's Grace to truly change and reform our lives as Catholic-Christian Disciples in our relationships with the Risen Jesus and the Community of Believers.  Essential to carrying out the Call to Conversion is our ability and willingness to authentically Witness to the affect the Resurrection has in living our lives on a daily basis. The definitive signs of our adherence to the New and Risen Life of Christ Jesus being our practice of Gospel Values, doing what Jesus would do, with charity and compassion, as Faithful Witnesses to Him as the Lord of Life, the God of Salvation............Alleluia !!!  Jesus Christ Is Risen !!!  Christ Jesus Is Truly Risen !!!  Amen.,   Fr.  Troy
