He has been raised!
From today’s Scripture: “Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised.” —Mark 16:6
“Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!” We sing these words once again this evening. Despite the wo
rds of the angel, BE AMAZED. Christ has risen from the dead. My goodness, what can be more amazing than the reality that death has no power! God can do all things, including conquering death. That is pretty amazing.
The hope of all we believe is held in this short Scripture: “He has been raised.” Glenmary missioners give their lives as priests and brothers so those who do not yet believe, may come to know and celebrate this truth. What follows from this truth is that the darkness of our past, the depth of the suffering we may have caused or experience does not need to define us or keep us in sadness, hatred or bitterness. We can be freed. We can live as a new creation through the new waters of Baptism and the other sacraments of life.
Come to the Light! Let go of your pain. Place your life in the hands of Christ. Be Free! Be Reborn! Sing Alleluia: He has risen, indeed!
