An Easter Message from OSJ
“When we follow Jesus, the path is often through darkness to what looks to the world — to us — like failure and defeat. But when we ourselves carry the message of Jesus — when we live the life of Jesus here and now, when we, too, confront the world around us with the blessedness of those poor, those outcast, those foreigners, those women, those voiceless for whom Jesus gave his life — we carry within ourselves the promise of new life. We live the ongoing message of the Resurrection itself: What comes in the name of Jesus will not die. The darkness will not overcome it as long as we ourselves never blow out the light of Truth in our own hearts. Alleluia.” (Joan Chittister, O.S.B.)
Thank you for letting the light of Truth shine brightly in your hearts. Because of the many ways you generously give of your time, talent and treasure, the Outreach and Social Justice Office can offer hope and, at times, the promise of new life to others. You are in our prayers as we strive to continue to live the ongoing message of the Resurrection.
Happy Easter!
Peggy and Nicole
