 "He is not here, He has risen as He said."
In honor of the Resurrection, we bring you a special chapter today from the Meditative Lessons after the Passion and Death of Jesus. The chapter we feature today is appropriately called "HE IS RISEN! ALLELUIA!" which treats the time when the first believers arrived at the tomb only to find it empty and the angel standing there with the famous refrain "He is risen."  While we brought you excerpts daily of "IT IS CONSUMMATED!" we will only bring excerpts from "MY LORD AND MY GOD!" as fit the occasion such as for this Easter issue. These meditative lessons, imparted by Our Lady to the Hidden Flower of the Immaculate Heart after Pentecost of 1993, are meant to inspire and prompt a greater understanding of the glorious time after Christ's Resurrection through His Blessed Mother's Assumption.

We Remember
The second part of "A Reflection on the Shoah"
In this issue we bring you the second of the three part installment on the landmark document issued by the Vatican last month on the Church's position and role regarding the Holocaust. It is a heartfelt admission that perhaps we - as a collective body of Christians - did not do enough to help, but it states in no uncertain terms that Pope Pius XII, whom the liberal Jewish factions have targeted as the culprit, is totally exonerated. For the second part on the Relationship between Jews and Christians, click on THE VICAR OF CHRIST SPEAKS.
Instrospective Zeroing In
In his twenty-eighth column, Father Stephen Valenta, OFM Conv. brings the reader into focus with his "Hearts to Heart Talk" as he lists some introspectives on the topic Zero Resistance, Zero Ego Drive in his continuing treatise on How to Pray with the Heart. Click on HEARTS TO HEART TALK
Bear all wrongs patiently
 With Lent behind us, it doesn't mean to stop prayer, sacrifice and penance; and it doesn't mean we can resume the lifestyle we had before. Most of all, it has reinforced us to be prepared to bear all wrongs against us and others patiently. Through prayer, prudence, and perseverance we can weather the storms ahead. That is the message Jesus counsels us on in Lesson/Meditation #81. These Lesson/Meditations were imparted to the Hidden Flower of the Immaculate Heart in a series of 100 Meditative Lessons.

Medjugorje
Monthly Message for
March 25th
 Dear children! Also today I call you to fasting and renunciation. Little children, renounce that which hinders you from being closer to Jesus. In a special way I call you: Pray, because only through prayer will you be able to overcome your will and discover the will of God even in the smallest things. By your daily life, little children, you will become an example and witness that you live for Jesus or against Him and His will. Little children, I desire that you become apostles of love. By loving, little children, it will be recognized that you are mine. Thank you for having responded to my call.
