Easter Sunday
April 5, 2015
We are an Easter People!
The Easter mystery we celebrate
today has not changed for more than 2,000 years.
We read the same story about the same people, with
the same outcome, year after year. Yet we keep
coming back; and next year we shall do it all over
again. The question is: If Christ’s resurrection from
the dead was such a breakthrough in human history
and in the story of our salvation, why do we need to
celebrate it over and over?
The answer is simple: the story may not change, the
outcome may always be the same, but it is we who
are to change each time we gather to celebrate the
mystery. Hopefully, each time we do so, we grow
just a little bit more in our ability to live the mystery
and to become the Easter people we are called to be.
For us Easter is a way of life. As Paul so aptly puts
it, we seek the things that are above to strive to
fulfill the duty entrusted to us – the duty of giving
witness to the faith by our lived example. At the
same time, we reject the forces of death in our
society and in our world that would lead us back
into the tomb of slavery and sin from which Christ
set us free.
In rising from the dead, Christ transformed the tomb
from a place of death and despair to a channel of
life and grace. It is now up to us to continue the
work Christ began by working to bring hope and
healing where there is darkness and death in our
world today.
Our task is not an easy one. However, is we follow
the example of Christ by rising from the tomb of
our complacency to be his witnesses, we may find
that we have finally begun to put our faith into
practice. And, although the Easter mystery remains
forever unchanged, we shall never be the same
again!
