Sr. Anita Baird, DHM Preaches for Easter Sunday, inviting us to rejoice and be glad in the Good News:
"The Easter story is our story! It is a story of light overcoming darkness. It is a story of truth overcoming lies. It is story of love overcoming hate. It is a story of hope overcoming despair. It is a story of victory!...Go forth and tell somebody, tell everybody, that Jesus Christ is raised from the dead. He has conquered death and the victory is ours in Jesus’ name."
Sister Anita Baird, a native of Chicago, IL, is a member of the Religious Congregation of the Society of the Daughters of the Heart of Mary.
