Here is the center of it all, the center of all the mysteries and of all of life. Without Jesus rising from the dead, faith in him is in vain. The Lord suffered and died and rose again. How simple and how mysterious! No sin, no pain, no suffering could hold him bound. At this first station of light, I pray to be overtaken by the joy in the resurrection, overwhelmed with the power and mystery of it all because even if I don't understand it all, in faith I believe and I accept. (Msgr. Andrew Vaccari)
Jesus Rises from the Dead
We believe in Love even though facing an empty tomb (Giuliana 1998).
In the spiritual life we are reminded to embrace the darkness. Darkness is evil but it has much to teach us. Darkness with God’s grace reveals our brokenness, our wounds, our hurts, our pride and our emptiness without Him. Facing the darkness we are forced to turn towards the light and there we find hope, we find meaning, we see the patterns that lead us to look up and see that our God is alive! He has risen and our spirits cannot be kept down but rise with Him! He promised and he kept His word! He is raised! Amen!
(Teresa Monaghen)
