Bishop Henning on the Risen Lord Walking Beside Us

"O God You 'have conquered death and unlocked for us the path to eternity.'

"Thus we praise God in the opening prayer of the Mass for the solemnity of Easter. After our 40 days of Lent and meditating upon the mysteries of the Lord's Passion in Holy Week, we come to the glorious celebration of His resurrection. We will celebrate the truth of the Lord's triumph over sin and death for eight days. And in a sense, this extended 'conclusion' to Lent and Holy Week brings us back to the beginning - the beginning of the Lord's ministry and that of our own Baptism into His grace."

In a recent commentary, Bishop Richard G. Henning, the bishop of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on some of hat it means for the Lord to walk beside us on our spiritual pilgrimage.
