April 17, 2022 Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord
Too GOOD TO BE TRUE: He is Risen! He IS Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!
The resurrection joy is God’s reassurance to the world of new life in Jesus. This life conquers death
transforming darkness into light, today’s fear into tomorrow’s joy, and hopelessness into hopefulness.
The wonder, love and praise we feel when we experience the love of God freely gifted in a spirit of
renewed hope and optimism is truly indescribable. Easter comes after the forty day Lenten
observance which includes Holy Week characterized by a period of fasting, contrition and penance.
Christians were given an opportunity to pilgrimage with Jesus in his experience of the loneliness that
so often accompanies human despair. We see him as a victim of the abuse of religious and political
power in a classic demonstration of the travesty of justice. Although, his condemnation was a result
of the forces of darkness, the profound message of Easter to the people of the world is that out of
darkness comes light, and out of death emerges life abundant. However, Easter demands something of
us, a call for a change of heart, a turning to God which concomitantly comes with a demand from us,
which is, a shift in ways of thinking and behavior toward each other.
Easter is also a visible reminder that when we allow the Spirit the opportunity to breathe through the
cracks of our broken lives how much more we are able to enjoy healing, restoration, reconciliation
and new reasons to live again, and prosper as individuals and community of faith. I encourage the
light of Easter be felt in every corner where any semblance of darkness is found.
My beloved in Christ, I invite each one to rise with Christ this Easter, and as we do, pray the Spirit to
release any stone that may be rolled in front the tomb of our heart in order to create space for Christ to
fully occupy. Jesus’ resurrection is too good to be true, but we rejoice in faith knowing that he is
alive, and we are alive with him, and that’s what makes the difference. WE ARE THE EASTER
PEOPLE!!
Happy Easter. May The Risen Christ Peace be with you. Fr. David
