The Resurrection is repose after the painful tension of the Passion, it is the stone rolled away from the tomb, it is the joyful cry of Mary Magdalene, it is the other side of death, become luminous. It is the certainty that life is already triumphant and that it will triumph in the end: the fundamental force that sustains the world and history is love, and love is stronger than death. It is only in the light of the Resurrection that I understand what life is.
From “Alleluia!” in From Advent to Pentecost: Carthusian Novice Conferences by a Carthusian
The Lord has done great things for us!
We are glad indeed! ~Psalm 126:3
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
