I had written this a year ago:
I hope you are taking (have taken) a moment to grieve and offer prayers on the solemnest of occasions. He breathed His last at 3:00 pm. The end of one life in 33 AD created the possibility of eternal life for all – isn’t that the ultimate irony? The message of death and resurrection is one of despair conquered by hope. I wish you and your loved ones a Happy Easter.
I hope you are taking (have taken) a moment to use this occasion to remember the solemnest of occasions. He breathed His last at 3:00 pm. The end of one life in 33 AD created the possibility of eternal life for all – isn’t that the ultimate irony? The message of death and resurrection is one of despair conquered by hope. Use this message of hope to create or renew your connection with God (Christ) today. If you call for Him, He will drop everything and run to your aid. Ask him to light up your insides so that your outsides will start glowing. Next time you are driving home alone, look at the passenger seat and imagine Him riding with you. Talk to Him. Hold in your right palm the rosary that hangs from your rear-view window and thank him - not once but once every second. Thank him for all your triumphs and for all your failures - it is in your failures that you can feel closest to Him. Ironically, success often leads us away from Him because we feel that we know the answers. But answers only beget more questions and failure to answer questions beget failures. So, why not rejoice in our failures and invite his presence into our lives. Happy Easter!
