Easter Reflection

Easter Sunday, and all is quiet.  The Last Supper, the cruelty and death on a cross are past.  Or, are they?  When we think of Good Friday and Easter, we think of it as a one time event that really benefited only Jesus.  Jesus died from the cruelty of those who could not welcome his passion. The passion of the Christ began at the dawn of creation if not before, born in eternity of God’s love.  It is a passion for life, it is the passion of God for fullness of life for all — no exceptions.  Jesus is the embodiment of God’s passion, God’s love so we can see, hear and touch God in a tangible way.  Jesus is anointed as The Christ and as such, the death and resurrection of the Christ is not a one time only event.  The death and resurrection of the Christ is an on-going, eternal event right up to this present moment.  Death and resurrection is the pattern for all of creation.

Homily, Fifth Sunday in Lent, April 7, 2019

We have made finger pointing into a fine art, and almost everyone seems to be in on the creation of this art form.  We have gotten so good at it that we can easily expect to see the worse in almost anyone.  I was walking through the office on Wednesday afternoon.  One of our parishioners was getting amass said for one of her friends; and she asked me: “is there anything sacred left in the world?”  I said, “absolutely!”  Everything is sacred. Our world, all of creation, every star, planet, tree, bush, creature,  all of humanity is soaked in Christ, is soaked in Christ.  Problem is, we are so obsessed with all that is going wrong, all the doing of things they way we would never dream of doing them, so negatively obsessed it is hard to see the Good, the True and Beautiful.  We are so obsessed that we don’t even appreciate ourselves; afraid to make a mistake, and we beat ourselves up for days, and a lot longer, when we do  make a mistake....
