I looked out my back window this morning. A bit of yellow caught my eye. Thought at first I was looking at the hose. But then I turned my head and realized this color was much bigger. It was flowers, not daffodils. Smaller ones on branches where I’d not seen them for some time. A big forsythia bush was in bloom. What a beautiful sight! Certainly, it brings joy.
I write this on the Wednesday of Holy Week, with Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter yet to come.
Think ahead. It will soon be a time to rejoice! Alleluia will return to Mass. We’ll read of Jesus being risen. In John’s Gospel, Peter “Saw and believed” that Jesus had indeed been resurrected. Took a bit more time for all the apostles to realize that Jesus was risen. We too need to remember what Easter is all about. Our Collect Prayer reminds us that His Only Begotten Son “conquered death and unlocked the path to eternity.” And “through the renewal brought by your Spirit, rise up in the light of life.”
Amen.
Peace,
Deacon Tom
