Episode 11: Be Witnesses! | The Word of the Lord with Fr. Rector

Father Rector shares his reflection on the Gospel (John 20.1-18++) for the Solemnity of The Resurrection of the Lord. He highlights the following:
• The empty tomb.
• The appearance of Jesus, our risen Lord to Mary Magdalene.
• The invitation to spread the good news that Jesus is alive!
Cyril and Peace Ugbem share their understanding of Easter and the way they celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus. For them, Easter means:
• Jesus conquering over death and sin;
• Fulfillment of a promise;
• Beginning of a new life in Christ.
"As a Catholic Christian family, we dwell in reflecting God's mercies upon us; and how to improve upon our Christian life...we open ourselves up to Christ to come and take his place in our lives and use us to the glory of his name." (Cyril) "We celebrate by sharing food to our neighbors. You don't have to quantify what you are making. Just make as much as you can afford and give it out to all your neighbors..." (Peace)
When asked what it means for them to renew their Baptismal promises on Easter Sunday, they responded: "It is a reminder that we need to be vocal about rejecting Satan's empty promises..." (Peace) "Its a great opportunity for us Catholics...to remind ourselves of the task that is ahead of us..." (Cyril)
In the end, Father Rector thanked Cyril and Peace. He also remarks: “That's the beauty of our faith. We do not just celebrate and proclaim Easter in the four corners of our church, but we go beyond the doors of our church; we go beyond the doors of our home; and wherever we go, we proclaim that Jesus is alive through our words, through our deeds that care and show love to others especially those who are need.”
Watch and listen! Be inspired and blessed. Happy Easter!
