3rd Sunday of Easter
We never know what true life means until we live it in the footsteps of Jesus.
This is not something we achieve overnight but is a gradual
transformation that takes place within us as we turn away from deeds of
darkness and live for God.
The Christian message is never fully ours until we have shared it with our family,
close friends and different people we meet in life.
