Easter has arrived!
We find that we, like the Apostles, have to confine ourselves for fear
of something that this world is throwing at us.
However, unlike the Apostles when they first gathered before Jesus came
to them Resurrection morning, we know the outcome of the whole story. Their experience and their subsequent witness
have come to us as the Good News of Easter.
Jesus Christ is Risen!
Alleluia can ring out. We look
forward to the day when we can sing it out together once again. In the meantime, we are called to live as
bearers of the Gospel. Our lives, even
in quarantine, are meant to mirror the deepest truth – that no matter what our
earthly life throws at us, we will come out all right in the end.
There are wonderful stories of unselfishness and caring
that are being shared. Human beings are
being shown some deep truths. We are
one. Whatever happens to someone else
affects each one of us. Our choices in
the small things have the power to make a big difference in the lives of
others. We are free to love no matter
what our circumstances are.
God is Love and the God of Love has shown us through Jesus
Christ that He loves the human race. He
will not give up on us. We must allow
the Spirit to work in our hearts and our lives to draw us ever closer to the
Risen Lord.
We have just spent a Lenten Season we will never be able to
forget. Let us also live the fullness of
the Easter Season. From now until Pentecost,
we are invited to live as the early Christians lived. May the way we love one another show the
world that we do believe the Message of Easter: Jesus Christ is Risen and He
Lives among us!
Easter blessings to you and to your family!
