Part 3 of Father Harris' Easter season homily series, “Arise: Experiencing Life in Christ.” Our baptism into Christ is an ongoing reality. We continue to receive the divine gifts of faith, hope, and love. The virtue of faith was the subject for the Second and Third Sundays of Easter; hope, for the next two Sundays. Faith enables us to believe in God, and what He has revealed through His Church because God is truth. Hope enables us to trust that God will fulfill His promises as we cooperate with His providence. We continue to arise with hope because of the promises that God has already fulfilled. Let the Lord Jesus lead the way through our journey of life in preparation for the life to come.
