Each Easter, we rejoice in Jesus Christ’s Resurrection. He showed us how to forgive. While on the cross, He asked Heavenly Father to forgive those who had hurt Him. He taught us to love our enemies and pray for them.

I invite you to pray and think about who you need to forgive. Also think about who you need to ask to forgive you. I promise that as you forgive and seek forgiveness, the Savior will bring you peace.

Jesus Christ is risen! He loves you! And because of Him, you can feel the joy and miracle of forgiveness.

Rejoicing in the Savior

And I will praise forever

The Savior of the world,

And I will sing together

With all the Saints on earth.

Because He gave to me everything

He had to give,

I breathe, I see, I hope, I love, I live.
