Acts 10:  To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.

Colossians 3:  If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above,  where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

John 20:  On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb.

Another Reminder for Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025

Zephaniah 2: But I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD: the remnant of Israel.
1 Corinthians 1:  It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.”
Matthew 4: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. … “

And while you go through life, know how wonderful it is that you’re going at all. Baby mosquito, the story tells, came back after its first time flying. Its mother asked, “Well, how do you feel?” And baby mosquito answered, “It was wonderful! Everyone was clapping for me.” Go on and on and on. Don’t quit.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

True?

 A hundred and fifty years ago there lived a woman named Sono, whose devotion and purity of heart were respected far and wide. One day a fellow Buddhist, having made a long trip to see her, asked, "What can I do to put my heart at rest?"

 She said, "Every morning and every evening, and whenever anything happens to you, keep on saying, 'Thanks for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever.' "

 The man did as he was instructed for a whole year, but his heart was still not at peace. He returned to Sono crestfallen. "I've said your prayer over and over, and yet nothing in my life has changed; I'm still the same selfish person as before. What should I do now?"

 Sono immediately said, "Thanks for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever."

 On hearing these words, the man was able to open his spiritual eye, and he returned home with a great joy.
