Mission Minute Monday

“Christ is risen!” That ancient greeting continues to reverberate throughout the world and has done so since Christ appeared to his disciples that first Paschal morning. St. Paul reminded the Romans that all of us who were baptized into Christ were baptized into his death so that we too might rise in newness of life. As we remember the Resurrection during this season and celebrate it joyfully, let us also remember and recommit ourselves to our own baptism, making a conscious commitment daily to die with Christ so that we might also live with him.
