The resurrection of Jesus is what centers our faith, the mighty deed done by God, in relation to our need for salvation.
As a result, what really matters is how each one of us lives the mystery of the resurrection of Jesus. The Easter season provides the opportunity to discover again and again how it impacts our lives.
Wherever we encounter Christ, the effects of His resurrection extend to us. Encountering Christ clearly flows from the reception of the sacraments: When we receive the Eucharist; when we receive forgiveness for our failings and sin in the Sacrament of Reconciliation to name but two of the sacraments.
These next 50 days or of celebrating Easter invite us to set our sights on Jesus, raised from the cruel death of the cross by God’s loving hands only to come alive again as the Risen Christ present to us all in so many remarkable and simple ways. Our task is to open ourselves to the Risen Christ, to the many ways that He is present to us and to continue to grow as women and men of faith, hope, and love because of His presence. Our task, these next few weeks during Easter season is to discover Christ in those persons we meet and in the situations that make up our lives.
