Today,
we can laugh at death even though sorrow still lives in our bones.
Today,
we can walk in the Presence unaware but He’ll still take the journey with us.
Today,
our doubts and fears calmly step aside as we gaze in awe and wonder.
Today,
we can struggle with the evidence but the Scarred One invites us to touch and see.
Today,
He is forever rising, lifting us up from the ashes of our self-made kingdoms.
Today,
we can ascend one inch closer to our truest selves through a Divine Encounter.
Today,
the external crucifix becomes our internal transformation.
Today,
what we have laid in our personal graves begins to grow the mossy green of life.
Today,
we can say “He is risen” while also saying “We have risen” with Him.
Today,
there is a stubborn hope, unrelenting in showing us a bigger story.
Today,
the Sonrise breaks through our shrouded darkness to reveal a new way of being.
Today,
we can rise again, and again, and again with help from the scarred hands of God.
Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!”(which means “Teacher”).
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!”
John 20:11-18
May we all see the Lord today.
Happy Easter
