Easter, a new life |
|
-
- For Christians, it is the most important
time of the liturgy. At Easter, the Good News is proclaimed:
" Are you looking for Jesus, the Crucified?" He is
not here. He is resuscitated".
-
Jesus did not stay imprisoned in his
tomb. Death had not the last word. A beautiful and bright life
sprang up from the tomb. His death was not destruction but a
transformation like it is said in the liturgy. Jesus rose up
from the dead. He is living the life of God. Death will nether
have power on him. Death is defeated. |

|
-
- Resuscitated on Easter, he takes
us along in his new life. We will have also our Easter.
This pushes us to get out of our deadlock, to knock down the
walls in which we are imprisoned and to refuse to be overcome
by the events. Resurrection is the life of God within us.

-
- Easter is the victory of love. Life
wins. Like the Apostle John, we already know that when we love
our brothers we have gone from death to life.
-
- Since Easter Sunday, Jesus, the
first to be resurrected, is enlightening our way from death to
life.
Humanity is devastated by violence and injustice, will the disciples
of the Resurrected be able to reconcile and help?
-
- Jesus resurrected is waiting for
us.
|
-
Easter is not only for Jesus but also
for the world. The whole of the Creation is involved in this
unique event. Another world is possible, in hope we are waiting
for a new world where justice and peace prevail. |
