When we gather together for Easter Sunday as Christians, we are acknowledging the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. We are giving our devotion and gratitude to Him in return for His gift of everlasting life to us. But we also need to celebrate our own lives in this time and this place without forgetting what He did for us. 

We do this by gathering together as a faith community, and taking in His Holy Spirit as sustenance for this world and the next. How do we do that exactly? By taking the Sacrament of Holy Communion. This Easter Sunday, let’s consider all that this sacred act in the name of Christ has to offer us in this world.

Each year we remind ourselves of His story when, in ancient times, the people asked for a savior. Someone to help them find their way in uncertain times. Someone to help ease their day-to-day suffering. Someone to help them not only find their own salvation, but also to be a beacon of love for the whole world and everyone in it, unconditionally. And that prayer was answered through the birth of Jesus, granting all of us the opportunity to also receive eternal life if we only allow Him to be born in our hearts. What an incredible gift.
