Meet Nico Tantengco:
Hello, I'm Nico Tantengco. I have been at St. Edward's ever since I was born. My parents were parishioners before I was able to go to St. Edward's. I am currently a sophomore at Archbishop Spalding High School up in Severn. I have been an altar server here since 4th grade. Just this past year, I helped transform the old youth choir into the current youth ensemble with my brother, Francis, my dad, Alex Lathrop, and Ian Lathrop. We typically played on two of the Saturday masses of the months this past year.

BI-WEEKLY REFLECTION-
from BLESSED FULTON SHEEN-
EXCERPTS FROM #FULTON FRIDAYS
The Solution is Divine (part 3-continued from Tuesday)
The world too sees the Risen Christ in His Mystical Body the Church, and takes it to be the gardener—something human and not divine. The Divinity is there as it was in the Garden the First Easter and only that same Divinity can give hope to a hopeless world. We may yet attain our peace if we but seek not the political and economic, but the new Life of the Kingdom of God. For such is the message of Easter Day—The Resurrection of the Dead, and the Triumph of the Defeated, the Finding of the Lost; the springtime of the earth, the waking of life, the trumpet of the Resurrection blowing over the land of the living.
But to all souls the Easter message rings out that there is no reason for despair. The Resurrection was announced to Magdalene—a soul once like our own. Peace awaits you in the service of the God Who made you. No matter how hopeless things seem to be, there is still hope, for Christ is the Resurrection and the Life. He who can make snowflakes out of dirty drops of water, diamonds out of charcoal, and saints out of Magdalenes, can also make us victorious if we but confess Him in His earthly and mystical life as Christ the Son of the Living God.
