The Easter experience For three long and joyous years we followed him. We followed his every move. We drank in his every word. We knew neither doubt nor hesitation. We were like sunflowers. During the day these keep turning their heads so that they are always facing the sun. But when the sun goes down they close their petals and hang their heads. That's how it was with us. When the sun went down on the Master's life we wilted. Without him our days lacked charm. Our lives became a desert. But how can we tell you about that joy that flooded our souls when we discovered that the Lord had risen? We cannot do so. Only he, by his touch, can do for you what he did for us, the day he broke through the walls behind which we were hiding bemoaning our shattered dreams. Risen Lord, help us to believe that you are always with us, and that nothing in life or death can separate us from you. |
