While Christ stood dying on the cross, the watching crowd had no idea of how the death of this innocent man would ultimately inspire millions to worship the image of his cross.

After he had shared his final meal with his disciples, Jesus assured them that despite his death, he would not leave them alone. He told them of the Spirit that will be the living presence of himself among them – speaking for them, teaching them truth, steeping them inwardly with peace.

The news of Jesus’s resurrection came as something beyond belief. Once the Disciples saw him, everything changed. They clung unshakeably to their belief. Though they were uneducated, they preached and wrote and travelled to far off countries to spread the word of Jesus’s rising from the dead.

Christian belief about heaven is that it is a place where humans will see God to the fullest extent to which they are able, and love God with every spark of their being.

Catholics believe that they should embrace times of suffering such as the season of Lent, seeing it as a time for curbing their indulgences, giving up luxuries or undertaking more wholesome activities.

Central to Christianity is the belief that God has spoken face to face with us in Jesus Christ. In one word – Jesus – God has communicated so much to us. The mountains, the sea and all the beauty God created for us on earth will speak to us.
