11 But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was weeping, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,Maria autem stabat ad monumentum foris, plorans. Dum ergo fleret, inclinavit se, et prospexit in monumentum : 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.et vidit duos angelos in albis sedentes, unum ad caput, et unum ad pedes, ubi positum fuerat corpus Jesu. 13 They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: Because they have taken away my Lord; and I know not where they have laid him.Dicunt ei illi : Mulier, quid ploras? Dicit eis : Quia tulerunt Dominum meum : et nescio ubi posuerunt eum. 14 When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing; and she knew not that it was Jesus.Haec cum dixisset, conversa est retrorsum, et vidit Jesum stantem : et non sciebat quia Jesus est. 15 Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, thinking it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.Dicit ei Jesus : Mulier, quid ploras? quem quaeris? Illa existimans quia hortulanus esset, dicit ei : Domine, si tu sustulisti eum, dicito mihi ubi posuisti eum, et ego eum tollam. 16 Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning, saith to him: Rabboni (which is to say, Master).Dicit ei Jesus : Maria. Conversa illa, dicit ei : Rabboni ( quod dicitur Magister). 17 Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God.Dicit ei Jesus : Noli me tangere, nondum enim ascendi ad Patrem meum : vade autem ad fratres meos, et dic eis : Ascendo ad Patrem meum, et Patrem vestrum, Deum meum, et Deum vestrum. 18 Mary Magdalen cometh, and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord, and these things he said to me.Venit Maria Magdalene annuntians discipulis : Quia vidi Dominum, et haec dixit mihi.

Acts 3:11-26 (You killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead.)
Here is a reflective religious commentary centered on the biblical account of Easter Thursday and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The emphasis is on the physical reality of the risen Christ, who appeared to his frightened disciples to offer peace and proof of his victory over death. By connecting this scripture to contemporary life, we are encouraged to remain hopeful and courageous in the face of personal hardships, such as financial hardship or family struggles. This message underscores that suffering is part of a divine plan that ultimately leads to eternal life. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on the role of historical witnesses and modern faith in sustaining the belief that the entrance to heaven is open to all. Finally, the speaker calls for personal sacrifice and perseverance, using the lives of saints and everyday heroes as models for faithful Christian living.
Now this is a much nicer way to start the Easter long weekend!After two years of Easter Thursday deflation, the Lions have made a statement against Collingwood to even the ledger to 2-2 as we enter April.There are so many storylines in the wash-up: Sam Draper's domination, Oscar Allen finding form, Kiddy Coleman back to his best already, Will Ashcroft the new midfield leader - it's hard to know quite where to begin with a win that good.And just like Mike Whiting will be doing with his beloved hot cross buns in the coming days, we've got an extra long weekend to savour it.This week on the podcast:-Kylie Minogue's link to the Lions (and why it's a promising sign for the three-peat)-A possible new identity for Chris Fagan in the rap world-Who would win in a game between the 2024 & 2025 Premiership sides?And much more!The Roar Deal is sponsored by Kartable. As material, freight and input prices rise, join the Kartable conversation. A likeminded community for tradies, builders and suppliers to manage pricing, partnerships and solutions. Head to kartable.com.au/roardeal
And now things get interesting! With the Carlton win behind us, the fixture ahead is starting to look a lot like an early dose of finals footy. The coming weeks hold matches against teams currently sitting in 9th, 5th, 1st, 10th, 8th, and 6th, with not one easy win among them.It's rare to be in mid-July with the prospect of the minor premiership and the possibility of missing finals altogether both remarkably still on the table. It's going to be a sprint to the finish line this year, and it all begins with a Friday night blockbuster against a Dogs side who suddenly find themselves outside the top 8 and desperate for a win.This week on the Roar Deal, we'll be talking through the first Gabba prime time, premiership-shaping blockbuster since all the way back on Easter Thursday.Also this week:-Could a Suns home final be played at the Gabba?-Mike Drop returns with Essendon's fixturing firmly in Mike's sights-Dom's becoming self-conscious about his sayingAnd much more!

Acts 3:11-26 ·(‘You killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead.')
For the first time in eight months, we sadly have to talk about a men's team loss. Easter Thursday has ended in pain for the second year running, as a Collingwood domination gives us our first loss for the season and a few things to think about throughout the nine-day break. Alongside our Pies postmortem, Player agent Tim Lawrence also joins us to shed a little more light on Lachie & Linc's move to the Lions and the current landscape of the player agency space. Also this week:-The Lions Roar have kicked off their campaign to re-record the club song-Mike debuts his first ever Mike Drop-Could there be another top-5 draft pick on the way?And much more!
In today's episode, Kip takes us through a busy pre-Easter Thursday on Wall Street, unpacking the day's light-volume trading session and a hefty 527-point drop in the Dow, mostly blamed on UnitedHealthcare's disappointing earnings and guidance. Kip dives into the resilience of the broader markets despite the Dow's decline, highlights the surprising strength in market internals, and shares insights from his appearance on the Charles Payne Show—where he didn't hold back critiquing Fed Chair Jay Powell.

Somehow, we've done it again! Another heavy first-half deficit has led to another inspiring second-half surge, leaving us 5-0 for the first time in Brisbane Lions history. On this week's show, we talk through another incredible win highlighted by Eric Hipwood's heroics, and look ahead to an Easter Thursday clash that shapes as the polar opposite to last year's match in just about every way. Also this week:-Luke Beveridge is part of the Jackson Payne problem-What's going on with the 'Not 15' calls?-Our thoughts on the Oscar Allen situationAnd much more!
We continued our unbeaten run at Gather Round with a very convincing 31-point victory over the Sydney Swans, and despite missing some troops, the Pies are still humming ahead of a big clash over Brisbane on Easter Thursday.Why did we get it right?

You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts
Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.
Tomorrow will be anxious for itself
The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
The people stood at a distance, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was
Our steps are directed by the Lord; he strengthens those in whose way he delights.
By his wounds you have been healed
Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.
I am with you always, to the close of the age.
