The Resurrection of the Lord: Sunday, April 21, 2019
A DARK MORNING – it seems like the world is ending. Nothing remains …. No future, only sadness…even the tomb is empty. No comfort to be found in grieving. If only time could turn back! Mary stands, weeping, outside the darkened tomb. She is bereft, hoping against hope, but now but now she is unable even to gaze on the lifeless body of her beloved Jesus who had been the promise of so much. Unless we have suffered the loss of someone close, it is impossible to understand death. But this is even worse – a disappearance, obliteration. Then suddenly, Jesus appears and the darkness engulfing her soul is lifted. We can imagine it is as if light bursts forth from the tomb. This is Easter, the Resurrection. A new world was born that morning when Jesus stepped out of the tomb where he had lain for three days. The sin which brought darkness was obliterated and the world began anew, bathed in the light of the Resurrection. This miracle isn’t confined to that historical event some 2,000 years ago. It is alive this Easter morning, and it is alive every Sunday morning when we recreate the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus. This is the miracle: the light of Christ banishes the darkness of hopelessness. Patrick M. Doyle, Carleton Place, ON Living with Christ, P.99 Triduum
