Perth Auxiliary Bishop Don Sproxton has spoken about the death and resurrection of Jesus in his homily at an all-night Easter Vigil.“One of the things that we learn in the life of Jesus is that He was the first person to experience death not because He was a sinner, and not because He had a determination to depend on His own resources, but rather because of the trust and the faith that He had in the Father, and in the Father’s plan for Him,” Bishop Sproxton explained.
