| Prepare the Word - Whole Parish Evangelization

Jimmy was about 4 or 5, and his parents had done their best to teach him to know and love Jesus. All seemed well until the Easter when Mom and Dad tried to explain the Resurrection. They hit a wall. Jimmy insisted, “Nope! When you’re dead, you’re dead.” While they had no idea where their son had picked up his fatalism, they assured him that they themselves believed Jesus had returned from the dead. Slowly, it seemed to sink in. All of a sudden Jimmy jumped up and grabbed a phone. “Who are you calling?” they asked. “Grandpa!” he said. “He’s gotta hear about this!” The first impulse for those who truly believe the Good News is to tell everyone. The joy is irrepressible. How could we not share it? Or as the hymn says, “How can we keep from singing?”
