March reflection: A time for change
As we look to the celebration of Easter, the resurrection story reminds us that no matter what we face, no matter what our fears, we can look forward with hope. We know that things will change. They may not change the way we want them to but they will change. You have my guarantee!
We are called to witness the resurrection through the potential that we renew our hearts, our homes and our communities. We have been invited to take part in this miracle. Not as passive observers, but rather, as full participants in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Lent is our time of preparation that we might be ready to enter Jerusalem with Jesus and his disciples. Easter is our time to share in the glory of God. The glory of the empty tomb. The glory of the presence of the risen Jesus who is with us here and now.
The resurrection may be described as the greatest miracle of Jesus. In reality, the greatest miracle is our recognition that God loves us and God is present in our lives each and every day. It marks an end to the cold, dark death Jesus experiences. It marks an end to the sinfulness that we experience. It is a new beginning. It is a new springtime. It is a new life. Happy Easter.
