Today is Easter Sunday. It is a day in the history of the world that is without compare. It is the completion of the intention of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

In the Gospel John tells how he and Peter ran to the tomb on hearing from Mary Magdalen what she had seen. He entered after Peter and believed. He has seen only an empty tomb but at that instant he knew that when Jesus' mysteriously had spoken of "rising from the dead" he had been talking about a "new reality".

Our bodies are corruptible and we live in a corruptible world. The Resurrection is Jesus whom the disciples had known and loved, living  a bodily New Life which is beyond the physical confines of this Universe.

Each one of us lives out our lives in this present reality. Each one of us can only choose for himself how to live. We can make the (very wonderful) corruptible things of this world our goal in life or accept the revelation of the Resurrection as the way to participate in the Love that is without end.

Our God has given us all that is needed to join him. We have to make the choice and to help us do that we have to remember that God's Justice will be delivered by "Jesus king of the Jews" who has fully known the pains of the "justice" delivered by us his fellow men.

Dear Lord, you know how my soul is troubled by most things in life and that I regret not joining any liturgical celebration as at the same time I doubt the integrity of any institution that calls itself "Christian". I hope that your foundation on Peter was not as exclusive as it seems and that there is room for those who sincerely aim to live in a Church of Spiritual Love that you also founded by recommending that John and Mary care for each other as mother and son. May Mary and all the saints implore your help for me and for all sinners here on earth and in Purgatory and may the Joy of Easter become a reality in the hearts of all the world.
