“Brothers and sisters our hope has a name: the name of Jesus. He entered the tomb of our sin; he descended to those depths where we feel most lost; he wove his way through the tangles of our fears, bore the weight of our burdens and from the dark abyss of death restored us to life and turned our mourning into joy. Let us celebrate Easter with Christ! He is alive! Today, too, he walks in our midst, changes us and sets us free. Thanks to him, evil has been robbed of its power; failure can no longer hold us back from starting anew; and death has become a passage to the stirrings of new life. For with Jesus, the Risen Lord, no night will last forever; and even in the darkest night, in that darkness, the morning star continues to shine.”
Pope Francis
In the dark, Mary Magdalene comes to the empty tomb. It is 3 AM and she finds the tomb open and Jesus gone! She rushes to the disciples and asks them what happened to Jesus.
New life must gather itself in the dark. Like owls, we must see in the dark: the human in the divine and the divine in the human. It is often difficult to see what is lost is found….Eastered and given new life. We have to see the Lord, perceive the Lord. “I am alive”, he says. Her heart exclaimes with joy: “Rabbi”! Recognition of Redemption! The gardener plants the seed of New Life! Easter faith! and An epic of love!
