I recently saw the film “Risen”

which I actually liked quite a bit. It

tells the story of the crucifixion and

the resurrection from a sceptic’s

viewpoint. The sceptic was the

Roman tribune who was assigned to

make sure that Jesus and the two

criminals crucified with him were

actually dead and removed from

public view before sundown. This

was required because the Passover

feast in Jerusalem would begin that

Friday at sundown.

The tribune stands below the

crucified Jesus and looks up at him

ponderingly. He’d heard that this

convict was different. Seeing him

there, something in Jesus’

countenance seemed to validate

what he’d heard.

What follows is an interesting

account of some maneuverings that

attempted to keep Jesus dead in the

tomb. The tribune is authorized to

look into the matter personally.

He’s pretty wily, and at one point

he finds the apostles in a closed

room and, lo and behold, guess who

happens to be with them!

Fast forward to today. We haven’t

had the benefit of seeing Jesus in

the flesh, yet we proclaim him as

risen. How do we know? What

makes it convincing for us?

How do you account for your faith

in Jesus Christ? Was there a

moment when you were able to say

convincingly for yourself, “He is

risen. Truly he is!”

Even though the Roman tribune

had the benefit of seeing Jesus face

to face, he still had to grapple with

belief. This is the way it is with

many of us. And this is OK. This is

the authentic way of coming to

know Jesus and His risen life.

If belief in the resurrection is not

yet your real experience this Easter

Sunday and you conclude that this

is a bit unsatisfactory, then I suggest

you take these words to heart: “Ask

and it will be given to you; seek and

you will find; knock and the door

will be opened to you. For everyone

who asks, receives; and the one

who seeks, finds; and to the one

who knocks, the door will be

opened” (Matthew 7: 7-8). Keep at

it. Keep seeking! We’re here to

help.

In time you’ll have your own story

of the resurrection.

I wish you and your loved ones a

very Happy Easter. God bless you

and know that you are in my

prayers.

From Father Lawrence,

The Beginnings of a Glorious New Day

Sincerely In Christ,

Fr. Lawrence D’Anjou

Gospel Reading

John 20:1-9

Background on the Gospel Reading Today we begin the Easter Season, our 50-day meditation on the mystery of Christ's Resurrection. Our Gospel today tells us about the disciples' discovery of the empty tomb. It concludes by telling us that they did not yet understand that Jesus had risen from the dead. Thus, the details provided are not necessarily meant to offer proof of the Resurrection. The details invite us to reflect upon a most amazing gift, that is faith in Jesus and his Resurrection. Each of the four Gospels tells us that Jesus' empty tomb was first discovered by women. This is notable because in first-century Jewish society women could not serve as legal witnesses. In the case of John's Gospel, the only woman attending the tomb is Mary of Magdala. Unlike the Synoptic accounts, John's Gospel does not describe an appearance of angels at the tomb. Instead, Mary is simply said to have

observed that the stone that had sealed the tomb had been moved, and she runs to alert Simon Peter and the beloved disciple. Her statement to them is telling. She assumes that Jesus' body has been removed, perhaps stolen. She does not consider that Jesus has been raised from the dead. Simon Peter and the beloved disciple race to the tomb, presumably to verify Mary's report. The beloved disciple arrives first but does not enter the tomb until after Simon Peter. This detail paints a vivid picture, as does the detail provided about the burial cloths. Some scholars believe that the presence of the burial cloths in the tomb offers evidence to the listener that Jesus' body had not been stolen (it is understood that grave robbers would have taken the burial cloths together with the body). The Gospel passage concludes, however, that even having seen the empty tomb and the burial cloths, the disciples do not yet understand about the Resurrection. In the passage that follows, Mary of Magdala meets Jesus but mistakes him for the gardener. In the weeks ahead, the Gospel readings from our liturgy will show us how the disciples came to believe in Jesus' Resurrection through his appearances to them. Our Easter faith is based on their witness to both the empty tomb and their continuing relationship with Jesus—in his appearances and in his gift of the Holy Spirit. Source: Loyola Press

Treasures from our Traditions Fifty years or so ago, it was popular

to teach every Sunday is a "Little

Easter." After several decades of

intense liturgical reform, it is proper

to think of today as a "Big Sunday."

On every Sunday of the year, the

Church obligingly assembles, keeping

the day holy. In most places, we

hardly attain the goal of gathering

all who are in Christ by baptism.

Look around today and see what a

Big Sunday looks like!

Our tradition speaks of

remembering, anamnesis, as the

antidote to "amnesia," the tragic

forgetting of God and who we are

as God's beloved creation. On this

Easter day, we are at our best. We

remember God, and we remember

who we are in God's eyes: beloved

sons and daughters, reborn to

eternal life in baptismal waters. We

rekindle our candles, reclaiming our

baptismal promise. "Big Sunday” also

reflects the character of festivity and

leisure that should mark every

Lord 's Day. We wear "Sunday best,”

and we may take some time to stroll

through a budding garden. It is truly

a "Big Sunday," and how different

our lives would be if we took its

values and traditions forward into all

the Sundays of our lives .



Because this is the final work of

mercy, we might be tempted to

think, “Well, if all else fails, I can

always pray.” And it is true that

there are situations in which only

prayer avails. This is what Jesus

told his disciples when they were

unable to deliver a poor boy

suffering from demonic

possession: “This kind cannot be

driven out by anything but prayer

and fasting” (Mk 9:29).

But it would be better to think of

this final work of mercy as the

companion to all the works that

precede it. When we accompany

our actions with prayer we will

receive the discernment we need

to carry them with sensitivity,

respecting the unique needs of

each individual. More

importantly, when instructing us

to carry out such works Our Lord

said, “When you did it to one of

these least ones, you did it to

me” (Mt 25:40). Prayer reveals

the presence of Christ in others,

and this will help us approach

them with reverence and not as

some problem to be solved.

Prayer enables us in some

mysterious way to touch the

hearts of others and it dissolves

the barriers of time and

space. We are asked to pray for

the living and the dead, a

reminder that prayer unites us to

the whole human family. It is

somewhat surprising that, along

with that adventurous evangelist,

St. Francis Xavier, the Church

names St. Therese as patron of the

missions. This was a young

woman who, apart from one

pilgrimage to Rome, never left

her native region in France; she

entered a cloistered monastery at

the age of fifteen and died there

nine years later. The reason for

this unusual choice can be found

in her writings, in which she

recorded that “The zeal of a

Carmelite embraces the whole

world.” As the Letter of James

tells us, the prayer of a righteous

person has great power in its

effects (cf Jas 5:15-16).

It is above all in the Eucharistic

Prayer that we get an insight into

the way prayer unites us with

others. We always ask the

prayers of the saints and in turn

we pray for the members of the

Body of Christ all over the

world. There is no one beyond

the reach of God’s mercy, and

thus there is no one beyond the

reach of our prayer.

This is the fundamental truth that

prayer underscores: we are

instruments of God’s peace. It is

God, not us, who is the source of

mercy. One wise spiritual

writer wrote centuries ago that

if we make prayer the center of

our lives, we will discover the

difference between doing great

things for God and God doing

great things through us. Prayer is

real in its effects and it has the

added advantage of being hidden:

this is the “stealth” work of

mercy, because it is only God

who knows about our prayer.

Christ assures us that the Father

who sees in secret will reward us.

The saints are our great models

for this work of mercy, especially

Mary, the Mother of God. At the

wedding feast of Cana she

interceded with her Son for the

couple who were about to be

embarrassed in front of their

guests. Mary asked with absolute

trust, not telling her Son what to

do, but simply bringing the

matter to his attention. How

often we bring to God both the

problem and the best solution to

it! And even when it seemed that

her Son would not act, Mary

trusted him. Her final recorded

words in Scripture are the simple

directive for us to carry out this

work of mercy, and all works of

mercy: “Do whatever he tells

you” (Jn 2:5).
