THE POWER OF RESURRECTION, WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?   In June, we will be ending the holiday and most extraordinary time in the liturgical year that the Church invites us to celebrate; Easter, that remarkable season, culminates with fulfilling our "Father's promise" with the Holy Spirit coming in Pentecost. The words of the Apostle Paul, in his first letter to Corinthians 15, reverberate in my heart "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is our Faith." Our Faith is not in vain, nor is our preaching for Christ indeed resurrected, Hallelujah! The other day, during my radio and TV show, La Hora del Encuentro, I spoke about something I think is appropriate to share with you again here, especially with those who did not have the chance to hear it that day; I invited my brothers and sisters from the audience to think about the true meaning of the fact that Christ overcame death and its impact in our lives. Part of what I shared had to do with how I lived my Faith for many years, superficially. I called myself a traditional Catholic, meaning that I would go to Church every Easter because it was expected, but I did not understand the transcendence of what was being celebrated then and there. Although I received the body of Christ, I did not understand; I just did what I saw others do and what my mom (may she rest in peace) taught me when she tried to instill the Faith in me. It was not until I had an encounter with Christ and started understanding His Word and the Church's teachings that I managed to gain such conviction, assurance, and understanding of what we celebrate every year during Holy Week, the Paschal Triduum, and of course the true impact of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ in my life. Now, I understand that Jesus' passion, death, and triumphant Resurrection, changed not only the history of humankind but, more importantly and transcendentally, transformed the way we live our lives and reopen the doors of Heaven after having been shut down by the sin of Adam and Eve. I hope Easter's major event will have the same meaning and relevance for you. May it always be a transformational experience in your life so that we can say, Jesus Christ has risen, and we have risen with Him, hallelujah!

Let us never forget that the magnificent event of the Resurrection confirmed the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His remarkable impact on humankind at large, beginning with His disciples who, as a result, began to understand the contents of all Jesus' teachings.
