For your consideration, this week's note from the Pastor’s Desk:
“Christ is risen! Truly is He risen!”
An early Ash Wednesday produces an early Easter. Maybe it’s just part of the aging process, but it seems to me that Lent just flew by this year, and I have so few positive results to show for my good intentions to reform my life.
Nevertheless, Easter brings us perennial reasons for hope and new life. We celebrate the triumph of life over death, of grace over sin, of God’s mercy and love sown over the fear and shame planted by the ancient enemy. Through the victory of our blessed
Lord, a new and fuller life has been given to the human race and to all of Creation. As an ancient prayer of the Eastern Church reminds us,
“Christ is risen from the dead, by death He has trampled down death, and on those in the grave He has bestowed life.”
Despite the steady diet of gloom that we hear and read about on a daily basis, we do not remain in darkness and we must not live in fear. St. Augustine, writing to his own parishioners sixteen hundred years ago, called them an “Alleluia people.” This most holy feast of Easter demands not only that we cry out, “Alleluia!” but also, and most especially, that we praise the Lord by living in the freedom of the children of God. We need to put our Savior’s teachings into effect by living lives of sacrifice and compassion, and so respond to the grace of God by participating as active members of His Church. We are to live as a people of hope, even in the face of opposition or personal difficulties, trials or tribulations.
St. Paul in one of the options for today’s second reading told his disciples in Corinth to “celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” The Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ require us to change our lives for the better and to follow the Lord Jesus more faithfully and sincerely.
Last weekend, we saw more people at Mass than we have seen since Christmas, though we’re still down from pre-pandemic attendance. Furthermore, there was a good turnout for confessions this past Monday. Other parishes have reported the same experiences: people are returning to the Church, many of them after a long stay away. It will take time to get back to “normal” (whatever that means these days), maybe even a very long time, but we’re off to a good start. Pope Benedict predicted about thirty years ago that we would become a smaller, but more committed, Church. Our hunger for God, for the Mass, for the Sacraments, and for one another is increasingly apparent.
After almost twenty centuries of commemorating the Mystery of the Lord’s Resurrection, it still puzzles even the best of theologians, no less the average believer, just as it did Simon Peter and John and Mary Magdalene, even though we celebrate it with each holy Sacrifice of the Mass. While we cannot fully grasp it with the intellect, we can experience it first-hand, for we, too, have died with Christ and have risen with Him to newness of life. Truly, we have been changed, and so we must reflect that change daily with hearts and souls renewed, strengthened through the Blood of Christ and the power of His Cross and Resurrection.
The Paschal candle, the Light of Christ, burns once more as a beacon of hope to shine on a dreary world that trudges in the darkness of sorrow and despair, marred by war and fear, and mired in moral confusion. Christ has conquered sin and death, and the Reign of our God has broken into the world, proclaiming His mercy and the forgiveness of our sins. We, too, can bear the
light of Christ, bringing new life into our homes, our Parish, and beyond through our compassion and readiness to forgive, and by our dedicated commitment to deepen our relationship with God in prayer and through our regular, faithful celebration of the Sacraments.
May God, Who has begun the good work in you, bless you and yours this Easter and bring it to completion in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Christ is risen! Truly is He risen! Alleluia!
