today is the day when our Lord, who died on the cross for us three days ago, rose from the dead and is raised to be seated at the right hand of our God in heaven... a day when Christians all over the world rejoice, because our God is true and our God lives forever...

to all christians, may God renew our hearts, spirits and minds, so that we may set forth today, with his holy strength, that we may do great things that will be pleasing to him and that will be glorifying to his holy name... yet in all that splendor, may we also remember to humble down ourselves, to not only love the love-ables, but also those who are sick, those who are old, and especially those whom we find un-love-able, those who irritates us, and those whom we see great hatred against... because what good it is for us to love those who love us, but rather, it bears more fruit if we share the love of god with those who are against us, that these people, through our actions and deeds, may come to know the glory and mercy of our Lord, and to realise the saving grace of our lord... let us also remember that there is no price to pay, that will be higher than having our sinless and holy Lord die on the cross for our sins... so may this day mark a new beginning for us, to reconcile firstly with our fellow brothers and sisters in christ, and also to those around us... let us, by the overflowing grace of god, have grace on our fellow men as well... may the love of God be with us, always...
