For Catholics, it is! The real meaning of coming to Christ and Christ coming to us.

That's easy - because there is no Santa Claus & tree! How many chocolate bunnies & eggs does anyone really want????

You’re right.

I’ll tell you what - I’m really looking forward to Divine Mercy Sunday this year. For me, it’s growing in importance each and every year. What a treasure!

I look at it this way; when you are a kid, you view Christmas as the greatest feast going, counting on getting Christmas gifts and the likes. But as you come into adulthood, and for me, come into the second half of it, you realize TIME is not in my favor, I am slowly aging, dealing with a season citizen mother, etc. Also you get what I call those “God moment’s” when you realize you must give your all to the Lord and life your life for HIM.

That to me is what EASTER is all about.
