Easter Light

~~~ Easter Sunday~~~

~~~ Acts of the Apostles 10:34A, 37-43 ~~~ Psalm 118 ~~~

~~~ Colossians 3:1-4 ~~~ John 20:1-9 ~~~

This is the day the Lord has made; 

let us rejoice and be glad.

The Light we seek is the 

Light of the Glory of the Resurrection.

We long for this light...we desire its illumination...

we hope to claim it for our eternity.

The Risen Jesus is the blinding glory

of the salvation promise.

Allow all the Glory of the Resurrection

envelope you...allow it to cleanse you.

Bask in this Glory of the Resurrection

for this is our hope.

We hope to one day to be joined 

with Jesus in all of his Light.

The tomb is empty.

The Light of the Resurrection fills all.

The tomb simply appears to be empty. 

The physical body of Jesus is no longer needed.

Jesus is now present to us in the Eucharist

each time we come to His table.

We approach to receive a sliver of His Resurrected entity.

A sliver, a fracture is all it takes to share

 in the experience of His Resurrection.

Allow the Easter Light 

of His Resurrection be enough to heal

your heart, body, and soul.

God is enough...

He always was...always is...always will be.

Easter is all the evidence I need

to believe in life everlasting.

This is the day the Lord has made; 

let us rejoice and be glad.

Roll back the stone from your heart.

Shed the ritual burial garments.

Soak in the light of the presence of the glory 

of the Resurrection.

Sing 

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Light has overcome the darkness.

There is no greater gift...

Love does indeed conquer all.

~~~Easter Blessings~~~

PEACE

Wonderful Before Our Eyes

~~~ Easter Sunday ~~~

~~~Resurrection of the Lord~~~

~~~ Acts of the Apostles 10:34A, 37-43 ~~~ Psalm 118 ~~~

~~~Colossians 3:1-4 ~~~ John 20:1-9 ~~~

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.

This is the day for all Christians 

to lift our hearts and minds to heaven.

It the day set aside for our thoughts 

to concentrate on what is above.

Spring is the perfect time to celebrate 

the Resurrection of the Lord.

Spring is a time when nature bursts into bloom.

All of nature is rejoicing with new growth.

It is a time for us to also rejoice in our new birth

with Jesus...we have been promised life everlasting.

Life everlasting...a new life unlike the one we are living today.

Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining.

...they did not yet understand the Scripture 

that he had to rise from the dead.

Imagine the confusion on that morning after the crucifixion.

The women come first to the tomb only to find 

the body of Jesus missing.

They quickly run to tell Peter and the other disciples.

They so desperately wanted to believe that

Jesus was raised from the dead

and not snatched by some grave robbers.

The right hand of the LORD has struck with power;

the right hand of the LORD is exalted.

This is the day the Lord has made for us

 to spread the joy of the Lord.

It is a day above all days to rejoice,,,

A day to loudly sing Alleluia.

For the Lord has been raised from the dead.

The Spirit of the Lord Blesses us 

in a very special way today.

Let your whole being be a reflection of his Joy.

Jesus Christ is Risen today...

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

~~~Peace~~~

Alleluia, He is Risen!

~~~ Easter Sunday ~~~

~~Acts of the Apostles 10:34a, 37-43~~Psalm 118~~Colossians 3:1-4~~John 20:1-9~~

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.

This is the day of the Lord...the day of resurrection.

This is the day the Lord conquered death for us.

It is truly a day of rejoicing.

Do you find it curious that we use the empty tomb as a sign of joy.

No one actually witnessed the Resurrection of Jesus.

It is his very absence that signifies his resurrection.

I can only imagine how difficult

 it was to let Jesus go after all they had seen him accomplish.

They did not understand and today they are left with emptiness.

Saint Paul tells us Jesus emptied himself, taking the form of a servant.

Jesus has once again emptied himself of his human body.

He must be emptied to be raised from death.

His Resurrection is Light, Life, Freedom.

We are invited to enter into the Joy of the Empty Tomb.

He is the Resurrection and the Life.

Believe that you too may be raised up with him to eternal life.

Blessed with the Joy of Easter!!!

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
