Easter
Sunday
“They
have taken the Lord out of the tomb,”
Mary of Magdala said, “and
we don’t know where they have
put him.” On the first
Easter morning there was a sense of
excitement among the disciples but
it was mixed with anxiety and fear.
They didn’t know what was happening
but they knew that something was.
As we celebrate our Easter we can
know exactly what has happened. However
we can be so familiar with this wonderful
truth that we may have little if any
excitement about it. It was not the
soldiers who took the body of Jesus
from the tomb but rather the power
of God. And where God has put Jesus
is into our hearts, our minds, our
company with one another, above us,
below us, all around us. The deepest
reality of our lives has been changed
forever by what happened today and
Jesus is risen and living among us
in our homes and in our faith community.
We need to attend to him there.

Doherty, C.Ss.R.
