On Easter Sunday 1942 Father Emil Kapaun, the POW Servant of God I have written about here, here , here and here delivered an Easter Sermon. Go here to read it.
Nine years later, shortly before his death in a Chinese prisoner of war camp, he preached another Easter sermon. Before a crude wooden cross he gave an unforgettable sermon on the Passion of Our Lord and led the rosary using a barbed wire rosary he had made from the wire that ringed the camp. Suffering from dysentery, pneumonia and an infection in one of his legs and in his eyes and so weak he could barely stand, he somehow found the strength to help his men, in the midst of their misery, to recognize the boundless joy of Easter. In many ways the entire life of Father Kapaun was a joyful sermon on Easter.
Thank you for this – it meant a lot to me today… God Bless and Happy Easter all…
Happy Easter to you Robert!
Amen
Yet another example of why I love the new media!! Thank you for posting.
