Dear Friends,
Easter is a day of realization, deep emotion, and unprecedented connection with Our Beloved Risen One. Too many words fail us, so here are just a few.
Elation. Standing at the tomb, I see He is not here. He is risen.
Awe. The same Jesus is at first unrecognizable, until He calls us by name.
Surprise. He gave us all He could, all He had and wants to be with us still.
Tenacity. I feel the pull of the Resurrection, the contagion of it.
Eagerness. To see Him in our day and keep Him close.
Reverence. For His unconditional generosity toward us.
Celebrate well with your communities of faith, families and friends. Most of all, keep a space in the hours of Easter day to spend time with Our Risen Lord.
