Easter Hope: In a world where there is often the reality of suffering, violence and injustice, we are called to be people of hope. This is not ordinary human hope. This is the hope that comes to us through the resurrection of Jesus. In the face of sadness, difficulty and pain, we are called to look to and rely on the resurrected Jesus and not just on our strength and  resources. The call, invitation and even challenge of Easter is that I experience it  personally deep within myself. I am called to be an Easter person, a person of theresurrection. I am called and asked to be a person who is filled with the new life and hope of the resurrected Jesus. We may be tempted to give in and give up about the world as it is today. However, because we now share in the powerful  resurrection of Jesus, we are to live our daily lives full of Easter hope. As Pope Francis says to us, as Christians, we must never look like people who are too sad or  downhearted .This  Sunday and for the rest of the Easter Season, may we be people who are filled with the Light Joy, Life & Hope of the Resurrection of Jesus The Lord is risen, alleluia, alleluia,
