"This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24
The heart of Easter Sunday is giving to others --to go a little further than we would normally do. Whether we are Christians or not, everybody would benefit from meditating on the meaning of Easter, when a good man gave his life for others. The miracle lies not just in the belief that He resurrected from the dead after three days, but also the fact that he was prepared to suffer on a cross purely out of love.

As we reflect on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, let us pray for the grace to be more aware of others and consider the things that we might do to help for those who are in need. It is not enough just to received the many blessings that God offers us through Christ's death and resurrection. We need to be on the lookout for opportunities whenever possible to share how the grace of God has transformed our lives. As the song goes: "walang sino man ang nabubuhay para sa sarili lamang", let's take responsibility in sharing and helping others even in our own little way. Happy Easter Sunday everyone!
