Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
I take a small break this week to offer these thoughts on the great celebration of Christ’s Resurrection from the dead.
“I find reruns somehow reassuring: I know what’s going to happen and yet I still manage to be somewhat surprised.” I came upon this sud-den realization while taking with a friend some time ago. We were standing on the sidewalk next to the Cathedral, listening to the murder of crows chattering away from their roost in the leaf-bare trees of Vineyard Hills, and talking about our mutual decision to combat the vast wasteland of prime-time television with video-on-demand services. I surprised myself by saying out loud, “I find reruns somehow reassur-ing: I know what’s going to happen and yet I still manage to be somewhat surprised.” I mean, I knew that about myself in a vague sense, but I had never articulated it before and, once done, it had a sense of rightness about it, especially as my favorite old shows started running through my head (fond memories of M*A*S*H on Channel 5 at 7 p.m. in my childhood coming immediately to mind), to say nothing of the three books that I am constantly rereading, like old familiar friend.. And, as the sentiment of the phrase turned over in my mind, it dawned on me: that’s exactly what I love about holidays and especially the Church’s holy days. Reruns are reassuring, one knows what’s happened and yet the possibility of surprise is every present.
It may seem contrived or even irreverent, but this little insight helped my feelings for Holy Week and Easter to fall swiftly into place. The rhythms of these days are ancient and the ritual patterns like the tracks cut by tires through the slushy snow to the macadam below, cre-ating a kind of inverted chalkboard of the world. Almost by intuition, we steer into the path cut by previous motorists, rightly thinking that greater traction can be purchased there. So the ritual of these days helps us to gain purchase on the road we pilgrims walk and the annual rerun of Holy Week, the Triduum, and Easter offers reassurance.
We all know the story of the Easter mysteries. Some years, the ritual of Lent, Palm Sunday, and Holy Week works itself so well that the transhistorical reality of Christ’s triumphant resurrection recedes from the mind and the dread of Good Friday takes hold. Or there are the years wherein the worries of daily life and the doldrums of the voyage wear away attention and jade the eye to the sight of the brilliant sun on the horizon. In those moments, the certain joy of Easter is like a wonderful, unexpected gift. There may be a thousand theological and traditional reasons that painted eggs, chocolates, and bunnies go with Easter. But on Easter Sunday morning, the joy of a child finding these treats becomes a simple lesson: Easter is about finding that unexpected joy that we have been told a thousand times about and that we ought be on-guard for but which we’d far rather be caught up by somewhat unawares.
As children, my parents would buy my brothers and me a little flock of ducklings and chicks. I knew they got them from the Southern States store in Vienna and I knew that with Pentecost, we’d take them to Evans Farm Inn and release them on the old Plantation’s grounds, Mrs. Evans watching on indulgently. Yet, awaking on Easter Sunday morning and finding those chicks filled me with such joy – heck, I becoming a little maudlin as I think of it now. Year after year, I was as surprised as if it were the first time – so too was my dog Randy, who would take to trying to herd the little clutch around in that clumsy, endearing, not-so-bright way that Goldens have of doing just about everything. Putting them into their sheltering box each night to sleep, the world would be full of promise and I’d have no challenge falling asleep, in order to hurry the night up and make it the next day to play with them again. The parting of Pentecost was always heartbreaking and I’d long to stop by the Southern States in hopes of spiriting another duckling away with me. And yet, the very next Easter: voila! ducklings and chicks again, like it was the first time!
The great mystery of the Resurrection and its celebration is of the same quality: voila! there it is again. Just when things are getting old and I start to take them for granted – no matter how fast or slow the days and weeks may have passed – suddenly, Christ is Risen, as he said. Alleluia, Alleluia! The Church, in the great drama of her liturgy, is helping us through life and not merely having us watch but inviting us to live the rerun of Salvation History itself, over and over each year, giving us reassurance and still managing to surprise. For, there is the deeper reality that Easter is not merely about recalling that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead (indeed He is). It is also about recalling that we, in Him, are saved from sin and set free from death. In the words of Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole: “We can all do with being reborn every once in a while.” And there is the next level of this re-run, which becomes more of a Mulligan then a mere repeat. As Christ is Risen, there is a chance at rebirth: to become, by His grace, the person that I am meant to be, the person that I have wanted to be, but have never gotten down to the serious, joyful business of being. The great promise of Easter is that, this year, maybe, just maybe I can be a Saint. Now that would be a re-run worth watching.
Christos anesti!, dear friends, Alios anesti! Affly, kmq

Please continue to pray daily for our country and the entire world. May
God give us strength and guidance, and may we never forget for a
moment that He is with us always.
Easter Sunday: To the question “What is life?” there are
probably as many answers as there are living persons. But St. Paul
touched the heart of the matter in a single word: Life is Christ. For Chris-
tians Jesus Christ is a new life because he alone conquered the destruc-
tive power of death and rose to live in a people. We are that people,
living Christ’s life through Baptism, eating and drinking with him now
that he is risen from the dead.
Family Perspective: That first Easter morning was confusing. Jesus was
missing and Mary Magdalene, Peter, and John “did not know” what to
do. In family life there are confusing moments when we don’t know
what to do. Like the apostles we are Easter people when we believe and
trust in each other even when all seems lost. Bud Ozar
