Happy Easter to You!
Happy Easter to you. Jesus has saved us, now we celebrate!
'Gladly and lovingly, [God] dwells with souls that have acquired by loving meditation His Passion's grace, His Resurrection's glory. The Passion, you must understand, is as it were a harvest: all time before it led to it, the ages under sin's and death's dominion found in the cross their climax and fruition. But you must see the splendors of the Resurrection rather as flowers of the age of grace but now begun, blossoms of the new springtide of creation which, in the general resurrection at the end of time, will bear their boundless and eternal fruit. "For lo, the winter is past," says the Bride, "the rain is over and gone, the flowers have appeared in our land." By these words she would have us understand, summer has come with Him Who, loosed from out death's winter into the springtide of risen life, declares, "Behold, I made all things new." For, sown in death, His body has in His resurrection flowered anew; to greet its budding fragrance our life's parched plain grows green, the glaciers melt, the dead return to life.' - - St. Bernard
Jesus Christ is Risen - and He makes all things (even you and I) new! Praise to God!
God bless,
Jay
