What Does Easter Mean to You?
Friends,
What does Easter mean to you? For some, Easter means white lilies or Easter eggs or chocolate bunny rabbits. For some, Easter is merely a holiday with time off from job and school.
What does Easter mean to you? As Catholic Christians, I would hope that it means celebrating the victory of Jesus over death. I would hope that Easter means the Light of Christ that dispels the darkness of our souls.
I would hope that Easter would show us how much Jesus loved us, even to death, death on a cross! I would hope that Easter would mean a very special “Thank you, Jesus” for all that you have done for me and all that you are still working in my life. I would hope that Easter would mean having a forgiving heart. Jesus was betrayed by his chosen disciples, and yet he forgave them.
I hope you give a little time either at Mass or at home in a peaceful place and ask yourself the question: “What does Easter mean to me?”
Happy Easter,
Fr. John
