Be an Easter Person

St. Augustine once said, “We are an Easter People, and Alleluia is our song!”

Alleluia means “Praise God” or in Ancient Hebrew, it means “Thanks be to God.” Therefore, to be an Alleluia person means to be filled with praise and thanksgiving for all of God’s graces; to have a constant disposition of gratefulness and thanksgiving for everything…  because everything is grace: creatures, persons, events, thoughts, words, and deeds… all in life.  To be a person who looks at another person, and in faith, in the spirit of God, says, “You are good and I thank God for you.” Alleluia, let us accept one another in the Spirit of the Risen Lord, believing that we can all rise up from the depths of our tomb (fall), and be an Easter person. Alleluia! Thanks be to God.
