Christ Is Alive


   Spring has crept up, unbidden this year.  We didn’t have enough of a winter to long for it.  It just appeared.

   Contrast that with many other parts of our country that had a horrible winter, and are now experiencing floods, or had a horrible winter and are still experiencing a horrible winter.

   They will know a Spring when they see one.

   Easter is never like that.  It only comes after lots of horrible things happen.

   Experiencing Holy Week, a week of human darkness, prepares us for a real experience of Easter, the gift of God’s joy and gladness.

   Christ is alive!  That statement of stunned awareness still makes its impact.

   We know death, and so Resurrection comes with great force and meaning.

   We die with Christ in our Baptism, and are so we will rise with him in a Resurrection like his.

   Amen.  Alleluia!
