Easter Sunday

Photo by Matthew Meidell

"No words in Christendom mean more to me than those spoken by the angel to the weeping Mary Magdalene and the other Mary when, on the first day of the week, they approached the tomb to care for the body of their Lord. Spoke the angel:

“Why seek ye the living among the dead?

“He is not here, but is risen.”

Our Savior lived again. The most glorious, comforting, and reassuring of all events of human history had taken place—the victory over death. The pain and agony of Gethsemane and Calvary had been wiped away. The salvation of mankind had been secured. The Fall of Adam had been reclaimed.

The empty tomb that first Easter morning was the answer to Job’s question, “If a man die, shall he live again?” To all within the sound of my voice, I declare, If a man die, he shall live again."

-President Thomas S. Monson

National Poetry Month



April is National Poetry Month, and I've been looking around on Youtube for clips of different poets reading their work. Since the overwhelming majority of modern poetry is pretty depressing, I was happy to come across some animated poems by Billy Collins. I've attached one of those videos here for your viewing enjoyment.

Happy National Poetry Month!
