whose marvellousand holy living the Lord will be glorifed throughout His Holy Church(Words of Saint Francis as told in the Testament of Saint Clare).  \nBecause a curious dream ruined your heartAnd your ambition melted into songs,We shall all take up candlesToday,and love like clouds.  \nThe day Christ gashed your hands and feet and side,We stirred in deep folds of eternity;And down some secret avenue of Being,Our uncreated voices called you:Father!  \nWe rouse the night with antiphons,and blameOur sleep with psalmody.Because you weptYour own eyes pure as blindness,we shall keepAn everlasting vigil of your dreams,  \nIntruding on your glory for a witness  \nHow,when you dragged protesting stones one season,Talking of ladies and of holy living,Our cloister sprang up on the floor of Heaven.  \nWhat unremembered bird,I wonder,listenedDown seven centuries the day your vows  \nRobbed Lucifer's throne of loneliness,and heard usSinging,by rumor,here among these trees.  \nSr.Mary Francis,P.C.  \nPoor Clare Monasteryof Our Lady of Guadalupe,Roswell,New Mexico  \nOUR MONTHLY CONFERENCE  \nBe rooted in Him and built up on Him(Col.2,7)  \nThe Allelujas of Easter break upon our ears;the joys of Easterfill our hearts.Resurrexit sicut dixit!Christ has died for us,but He hasrisen again triumphant over sin and death.His resurrection is the proofof His work,the Father's seal of acceptance.But His resurrection is alsoour new life in Him.For as Christ died and rose again,so we by Baptismwere buried with Him into death and thus have received newness of life.And as Christ now lives unto God,so the Christian,dead to sin,must bealive to God in Christ Jesus(Rom.6,4-11).Therefore,we must be a newdough of the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth(I Cor.5,7-8).Above all,we must seek and mind the things that are above,not thethings that are on earth(Col.3,1-2).How vividly we experience thisnew life if we have had the glad opportunity of participating in the newEaster Vigil,lighting our candle from the new Light which is Christ,andrenewing our pledge to live with Him unto God.  \nThis is the meaning of Easter for all Christians,a renewal of theirlife in Christ,a re-awakening to the conscious appreciation that theChristian life is in reality the Christ-life in us.Now,inasmuch asreligious life is a higher and deeper form of the Christian life,of theChrist-life,the lesson of Easter has even greater significance for us.Itshould make us realize more than ever that our whole Franciscan lifeis
