Easter is a time of profound renewal and a celebration of Christ’s victory over death and hope of eternal life. Through His Death and Resurrection, we are united with Christ in a bond that calls us to surrender, trust, and service.
To surrender is not an act of weakness but a choice to trust completely in God’s plan, just as Christ surrendered to God in the Garden of Gethsemane, saying, “Not my will, but yours, be done” (Luke 22:42). Surrendering to God means letting go of our fears, doubts, and desires for control and placing our lives in the hands of the One who conquered the grave.
The Resurrection is the ultimate invitation to trust in God’s promises. Even in the face of suffering and uncertainty, we are reminded that death does not have the final word. Easter proclaims that God’s power is greater than any force that seeks to defeat us.
The Resurrection of Christ is not just a personal triumph but also a call to serve. As the Risen Lord appeared to His disciples and said, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21), so our communion with Christ compels us not only to live for ourselves but also for others.
As we celebrate this Easter, let us renew our commitment to be united with Christ, surrender to His will, trust in His plan, and serve others with hearts full of His grace and love! Rejoice, for He has Risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!

In this sacred mystery,
You call us to
to do for others
as You have done.
