15. Easter and the Resurrection: Interview with Fr. Louis Merosne

The Lord has risen HALLELUJAH! We have made it through Lent and what a difficult but blessed Lent it was. Christ has truly done so much in our hearts these past weeks and now it is time to celebrate.

"For if we have grown into union with Him through a death like His, we shall also be united with Him in the resurrection We know that our old self was crucified with Him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin."
                                                                                                                                     -Romans 6:5-6

We are so blessed and honored to have interviewed Father Louis Mersone for our final episode in our series on "Our Identity in Christ." We have concluded with Easter and the Resurrection.

Christ was not just a good man who died for us on the Cross. He took this horrible death and elevated it by rising from the dead and opening the gates of heaven so we could share in the eternal paradise which He has prepared for us.

Father Louis walks us through some of the struggles he has seen in his home country of Haiti where he resides as a priest at Saint Anne’s Cathedral in Anse-a-Veau, Haiti. He has seen such great suffering and has found that without the hope of the resurrection then all is lost. It is because of the Resurrection that we can find joy in every moment, even in the midst of suffering.

"Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song."
