The real Easter mystery is what happens when we allow ourselves to be touched by the person of Jesus. No matter how sluggish our faith life my be, no matter how disillusioned we my be with the institution of the Church, no matter if have been judged harshly by others, the real Easter mystery is when you allow yourself to be touched by the love of the Risen Lord. The message of Easter is that Jesus seeks to fill this world with His love. Easter is God's pledge that God's love triumphs over poverty, conflict, violence, and war.
In the weeks ahead our Gospels continue to show how the faith of the disciples grew following the Resurrection. They continue to show how our faith can grow. We cannot celebrate Easter in one day; we cannot come to faith in one Mass. Together, as a community of faith, as God's Easter people, we make the journey together over the course of lifetime.
