During the great 50 days of Easter we will find joy in Paul’s letter to the Philippians. “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say Rejoice!” Easter is more than one day; it is a season of joy and Alleluias! It is a time to celebrate the resurrection of our savior, Jesus Christ. It is a time to rejoice in the gift of encounter. Encounters with the risen Christ characterize the Christian hope of resurrection. Let us be JoyFull!
