Ro­man Catholic Arch­bish­op Ja­son Gor­don has chal­lenged cit­i­zens to live clos­er to the res­ur­rec­tion light. His state­ment came as he de­liv­ered his East­er homi­ly at the Cathe­dral of the Im­mac­u­late Con­cep­tion in down­town Port-of-Spain yes­ter­day.

Be­fore a packed con­gre­ga­tion, the head of this coun­try’s Catholic Church said, “We live in a beau­ti­ful coun­try, and in this beau­ti­ful coun­try we know that there is so much beau­ty, so much won­der­ful gift and grace that we have. We know that in this beau­ti­ful coun­try that there is so many ded­i­cat­ed peo­ple who do things that are ex­tra­or­di­nary on an or­di­nary day. But we al­so know in this beau­ti­ful coun­try we live, we live clos­er to graves and the tombs than we live to the res­ur­rec­tion light?”
