An Easter Reflection

We begin in the dark gloom of death.
All that gave meaning and joy
declared meaningless
leaving despair and confusion
Then in the cold morn stood the Christ
risen not to fix or make right
that bloody death
so that those old ways of living can go on.
This is God’s affirmation
God’s yes to the way of love.
Resurrection is not just for later
Now we are invited into the death of
our habits that deny
our ways of seeing that blind
our images of God that separate.
We are invited into Christ’s revolution of compassion and generosity
God’s uprising of humble love.
What then is our next step?
