Easter is the central mystery of the Christian faith. It is the culmination of the work of Christ's redemption. The Resurrection of Jesus is the crowning event of all his life, words and works and it fills us with the hope of our own immortality. The reflections contained in this little booklet are the fruit of a lifetime of reading, studying, reflecting on, praying over, and preaching about this great mystery of our faith. They are intended to move the reader into a deeper appreciation of this great event by shedding light on a variety of facets often overlooked in a cursory reading of the Gospels. They should serve as an ongoing reminder of the goal of our spiritual walk with the Lord every day of our life.

 

James A. Griffin, Bishop of Columbus Ohio, the author of several works for Alba House, among them: A Lenten Walk, The Priestly Heart, Reflections on the Law of Love, Sackcloth and Ashes and Summary of the New Catholic Catechism, studied in Rome at the North American College and spent many years serving the People of God in Cleveland, Ohio before being made Bishop of that Catholic Diocese. His recent retirement has afforded him the luxury of being able to put to paper some of his personal reflections on the mysteries of our faith and to share them with those searching for new insights into them. He brings to this work his vast experience as a pastor as well as his skills as a seasoned author.  Reviews Top of Page
