The call by Manila's Archbishop Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle to the Catholic Priests of Philippines to shun the habit of beginning the Holy Eucharistic Celebrations with the worldly greetings 'good morning' and to start the Holy Mass with the spiritual utterances, "The Lord be with you".
This can be followed by the Catholic and Christian Priests world over who have this worldly system of appeasing their faithful.
The Greetings with Blessings, "The Lord Be With you" once said from the heart, contain the highest and most effective wishes one can give to the believers.
When the Priest wishes the gathering before the starting of the Holy Mass, his 'greetings' should come from his body, mind and soul with proper 'spiritual body language' and those who receive them also should reciprocate suitably by replying, 'And Be With your spirit' (earlier 'And Also With you')....!
It is very important to make every word that the mouth utters, come from our self ie our heart and soul.
May God Bless you all....

As every one knows, the Greatest, Holiest and Most Glorious Solemn Feast for the Christian Community on the planet is the Easter. This year's Easter 2012 falls on the eighth of April, 2012.
Many people, mostly the non-Christians think that the Christmas is the most important Christian Festival in the world. But in fact, Christmas, the holy Birth Day of the Savior of the world, the Son of God is only next to the Feast of HIS Resurrection - The Easter.
Birth Days are celebrated by almost all people of the world. They include presidents, leaders, scientists, social reformers, freedom fighters and even the common people. Birth days of many religious and spiritual leaders are also observed by the followers of those religions.
But the Resurrection ( the day of rising again from death ) of Only One Person is celebrated in the entire world and it the Lord Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of the Humanity.
Why is Easter the Greatest and most important Feast Day for the Christians?
Many great people were born and lived in this beautiful planet earth for some time and passed away. There are many who fought for the worldly liberation of the suppressed, oppressed and the neglected. There are many great emperors and kings who ruled their subjects fairly with love. There are many social reformers. They all died at a point of time and got removed from the living. The world fondly remembers many of them. But none of them rose again after their death. Only the incarnated God, Jesus Christ rose again on the third day of His greatest Passion and death. Because only HE had authority on the death. Only He conquered the death and its stings for our sake. Hence the Easter is the most important of all the Celebrations of the whole of the world.
The Tomb of the Lord Jesus is the only tomb open and empty of all the graves in the history of the whole world.
Praise be to the Lord Almighty. Glory Be to the Lord who defeated satan and death for HIS chosen ones. Amen... Amen....!
Happy Easter Wishes and Hearty Greetings to one and all....!
