The joy
of the light that shines in darkness fills my heart today. As we walked with
Him throughout His Passion, we suffered and agonized with Him. Now, as the
darkness is lifted, we see Him risen, conquering death itself. The light fills
our tear-filled eyes and warms our souls as He reveals Himself as Christ, the
risen Lord. The beauty of the Paschal candle brings the light
of the risen Lord into the darkness of the night following the Crucifixion. Our
hearts were broken at His Crucifixion and our hearts are healed and filled with
joy at the empty tomb. The joy
of Easter is the healing balm of the violent Passion in which our dear Lord suffered
beyond what we can imagine. All is well and all is how He told us it would be. Now we rejoice
and celebrate. Gone are the tears, the pain, the blood, and what has returned
is a transformed hope for humanity. Our faith in His promise of defeating death for all of
us brings us great joy and immense peace. We have been taken through the whole
gamut of emotions and now we celebrate with joy His promise of mercy and love
forever. Oh dear Lord, my heart leaps for joy at
Your Resurrection!
