Happy Easter! What?, you say, Easter was ages ago! But Easter is a season - it lasts for six weeks until the Ascension. But even more important than that: Easter is an attitude. Easter is the time and the place and the realization that God's love reigns over death and despair. No matter the circumstances which might try to entomb us, God's love has broken through that tomb, and won for us life and freedom.
There are all kinds of voices telling us that death wins. Voices (sometimes interior ones) which cut down and stomp on and choke off growth. Voices that tell us to get real, or get with the program. Voices that ridicule our naivte.
Easter tells us that the deepest, truest voices are the ones which are noblest: the voices which shout the glad shout of joy at the perfect love which God has for us. Such a love that he could not bear to be apart from us, and so came among us to be with us: to be us.
Knowing this, how can we be anything else but Easter people from now on?
