Happy Easter from Precious Blood Renewal Center in Liberty, Missouri!
We hope you had a chance to celebrate Easter Sunday by means of a livestream either from your own parish church or from one of the televised Easter Masses.
Easter is the most important day of our liturgical year. This Easter season is like no other in any of our Lives, because of the coronavirus pandemic and the closing of our church buildings. Our church buildings may be closed, but the church is not closed. The church is a people a community of Flesh and Blood members of the blood of Christ.
Easter celebrated for 50 days because it is so important that its meaning cannot be captured in one day.
There are many appearances of Jesus after his resurrection from the tomb that are recorded in the New Testament. During the seven weeks of this Easter season we will invite you to meditate on one of those appearances each week through these video meditations. Each meditation will run about 15 minutes and it will be a contemplatively prayer. We’ll ask you to use your God-given gift of an active imagination to put yourself into each scene.
Today we will go to the tomb of Jesus along with Mary Magdalene early in the morning on the first day of the week before the sunrise.
New videos will be posted on Tuesdays. We’ll send you an email on Thursdays to remind you to watch. You can find all the videos here (after they are posted): Easter Video Series. You can share your thoughts about the video on our Facebook page.

I like to compare grieving to composting. A person piles up stuff that is useless for growing things, like leaves and table scraps, “works” them, and eventually they turn into rich soil from which new life can sprout. Grieving follows a similar process.
Alleluia! Christ is risen indeed! Welcome to our first Taize Service during this 2024 Easter Season! How do we sustain our Easter joy through the 50 days of the Easter season? Can we keep the glorias and bells ringing?
