LIVE & PROCLAIM IT!

We should never ever reduce our dignity as human beings to anything less than what God made us to be, in His image and likeness. Amen. Hallelujah!

Genesis 1:1-2:2 (or Genesis 1:1, 26-31)
...Then God said: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground.” 27 God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them...

It's about time we stop using words and saying things about our being human other than what we are in the eyes of God. Amen. Hallelujah!

Psalms 104:1-2, 5-6, 10, 12, 13-14, 24, 35,
R: Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
...How manifold are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you have wrought them all — the earth is full of your creatures. 35 Bless the LORD, O my soul!

We have been baptized and are all recipients of the benefits of this great sacrament. Let us not neglect nor forget what we have received through the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Hallelujah!

Romans 6:3-11
3 Brothers and sisters: Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life. 5 For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection...

God is not dead. He is risen! God is victorious over sin and death. We should let this truth shine forth live and proclaim it in our lives. Amen. Hallelujah!

Matthew 28:1-10
...And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. 3 His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow. 4 The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men. 5 Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. ...And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
