Hello brothers and sisters. It is good for us to go to Mass, and to spend our valuable time with one another, loving one another, and loving Christ. We must thank God for this day, this very beautiful day no matter where you are. We also must thank God for giving us the great gift of life. It is a true miracle that Christ did rise from the dead three days after he was killed, and a great miracle that God created everything, simply at his divine command.

Remember brothers and sisters, the words of the Holy Spirit through the Early Church Hero, James, as it is written, "Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you," (James 1:21).

Remember Christ's words and command to us: Love one another. It is better to suffer loving people, than to not love someone and not suffer.

Brothers and sisters, the importance of loving one another and not hating, violating, and poorly treating each other can be summed up in Christ's words here: "In everything, deal with others as you would like them to deal with you. This is the Law and the Prophets," (Matthew 7:12). And furthermore, Christ speaks, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other greater command than these." (Mark 12:30-31).

It can be tempting to do wrong in the sight of the Lord and tempting to not do what he says to do. But you must persevere over evil and for God Almighty. As Christ has said in the Book of Revelation, "Anyone who is victorious would be dressed like these in white robes, and I shall not blot his name from the Book of Life. Rather I shall acknowledge it in the presence of my Father and his angels," (Revelation 3:5).

So in everything you do, remember the Golden Rule that Christ himself uttered. Be morally upright before God, treat others with great love, the same love as Christ showed us, and continue in this righteous way before God.

And remember, CHRIST HAS RISEN!!

GLORY TO CHRIST!!!
