I would like to wish a very happy and blessed Easter to all my readers and everyone around the world.
A holy priest yesterday had a great homily which I can summarize as follows. God worked throughout the history of mankind towards our salvation. Starting all the way back to Adam, God made covenants with his people. The Jewish people awaited the coming of the Messiah for centuries and generations. Isaiah, Ezekiel, and others prophesized His coming. Everything led up to Jesus, his birth, and ultimate death and resurrection. The eternal sacrifice and covenant.
At times things seemed dark, full of despair and darkness, yet there was always a plan for those who trusted in the Lord. Think of the Passion. The Apostles may have thought "well, this is it. We thought Jesus was the savior, but now he's crucified." They may have given up in despair. But that wasn't the end. Jesus rose again, in the most joyous event in human history - the Resurrection, Easter.
The same God who brought about the salvation of the whole world is there to bring about our own salvation. Despite the darkness we sometimes encounter, we must trust in the Lord. He is ready and waiting to make us part of salvation history. If you are experiencing your own passion, remember that God has a great Easter planned for you. Happy Easter to all my readers and to people everywhere!
