The Resurrection is the central fact of the Christian Faith. It begins with defeat, crucifixion and pain, but ends in triumph. Joyful religions can test themselves on days when there is no death, grief or sorrow, but it took the Love of God, who touches our tragedies in life, to convince us that in Him we too can have our Easter after our own Good Friday. (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. March 31, 1956. Concerning Easter. Ottawa Citizen.)
