Easter is a Season!

Yes, a wonderful reminder to be sure! I'm grateful that Easter is not only one special day. It's also a liturgical season! That means that this Easter Season can truly be a transforming time for us, not just one wonderful day.

Easter is also an anchoring time for us because it is the foundational mystery that creates who we are together. We believe that we are swept up into the continuing life of Jesus Christ, and that Jesus calls us to many ongoing forms of Resurrection - New Life for our pain, New Life for our despair, New Life for this world's violence, New Life for the confusion, New Life that cannot be extinguished - even by death!

What are your hopes for this season of Easter? How might Resurrection transform you in the upcoming days and weeks, particularly in a way that grounds your identity for all the days that follow?

What are your hopes?

What do you dare to hope?
