Easter
All men, even if they know neither Him nor His plan, carry a feeling of eternity inside their heart

 

“The only real sin is to remain insensible to the resurrection” said Isaac the Syrian, a father of the ancient Church. Exactly for this reason it is possible to value the Christian’s faith and to distinguish his ability to hope for everybody and to transmit this hope to everybody. On Easter day each Christian proclaims the victory of life over death, because Jesus the Messiah rose from death to be He who lives forever. He who, being a man like us, flesh as we are flesh, he who was born and lived among us, who died a violent death, who was crucified and buried, has been resurrected!

Oh death, where is your victory? Oh death, you are no longer the last word for the men, you became a passage, the moment of the exodus from earthly life to eternal life, from this world to God’s kingdom…
This should be the Christian’s song on this Easter day, the most important feast among all festivities, because God has been resurrected as the first fruit of us all, because life reigns finally and a secret but real process of redemption, of transfiguration has begun inside each creature.
